Scottsburg council suspends third reading, adopts 2025 salary ordinance to allow hiring
Summary
On Feb. 24 the Scottsburg Common Council suspended the third reading and adopted Ordinance 2025-2, the 2025 salary ordinance, so the city can proceed with hiring for open positions; specific salary amounts were not specified in the meeting transcript.
The Scottsburg Common Council on Feb. 24 voted to suspend the requirement for a third reading and adopted Ordinance 2025-2, the municipality's 2025 salary ordinance, taking effect so the city can fill open positions.
Council members moved to approve the salary ordinance after noting it had passed a prior reading. The council voted in favor when the presiding officer called for the ayes and received no opposition; the council then approved suspending the rules for third reading and completed final passage during the same meeting. The transcript did not specify salary amounts or the specific positions covered in the ordinance.
Councilmembers discussed the procedural need to suspend the third reading so hiring could proceed; no extended debate on salary levels was recorded. The meeting record shows motions and seconds were made and that the body voted in favor when asked, with no recorded votes in opposition.
The action allows city staff to move forward with hiring for currently open positions. The transcript includes no further detail about effective dates, salary tables, or which departments will fill vacancies; those details were not specified during the discussion and were not included in the meeting packet excerpts cited on the record.
The council moved on to other agenda items after adopting the ordinance.
