Mayfield council approves tentative FY2026 budget with wage adjustments for town staff
Summary
At its May 14, 2025 meeting, the Mayfield Town Council approved a tentative fiscal year 2026 budget that includes amendments to employee wages, including a full increase for an employee named Jake and a partial increase for another position; the clerk will finalize exact dollar amounts.
A councilmember moved “I make a motion that we approve the tentative fiscal year budget 2026,” and the Mayfield Town Council approved the tentative fiscal year 2026 budget at its May 14, 2025 regular meeting with amendments to staff wages.
The amendments adopted convert proposed percentage increases into specific adjustments for town staff. Councilmembers agreed to a full wage increase for an employee identified in the transcript as Jake and to apply 50% of a previously proposed increase for another employee. The council also directed an adjustment to the clerk’s wages; councilmembers said the clerk will compute and confirm the final dollar amounts.
During discussion, members noted they would translate percentage increases into dollar figures for clarity. One speaker said the adjusted pay would result in “about $32.08 an hour” for a referenced position and that a $4.03 adjustment would be used to reach that hourly rate; councilmembers agreed the clerk would finalize the precise calculation.
When the motion was called, one or more members abstained but the council confirmed a quorum remained and proceeded; the motion to approve the tentative budget with the wage amendment was carried. The council concluded its meeting and moved on to adjournment.
The approved document is the council’s tentative spending plan for fiscal year 2026; further changes are possible during the fiscal year, and councilmembers noted they may make adjustments as needed.
