Orderville raises job-grade steps for treasurer and town clerk to retain staff
Summary
The town board amended job-grade ranges for the treasurer and town clerk positions, increasing the grade steps to allow larger future pay adjustments and improve retention.
The Orderville Town Board approved changes to the job-grade ranges for two municipal positions: the treasurer and the town clerk. The board did not grant immediate raises but amended the grade-step structure so future increases can be awarded within a higher range.
Under the approved change, the treasurer’s grade range will move from 17 to 21 (adding steps 19–21), and the town clerk’s grade range will move from 19 to 23. The mayor and staff explained the change is intended to keep local compensation competitive with county and municipal market rates and to retain long-term staff. Board members said the amendments set future salary trajectories but do not automatically increase current pay.
A motion to amend the grade levels was moved and seconded; the board approved the change by voice vote and the mayor announced "Motion carries." Staff said they would not apply any increase outside the adopted grade structure without future board action.
