The Lakeside Town Council voted unanimously to set the interim town manager's salary at $105,453 — the bottom of the town manager pay scale — and to make that pay retroactive to Oct. 21, 2025, the date she was appointed.

A motion on the council floor read, "provide the interim town manager with the salary, commensurate with the bottom end of the town manager pay scale which is 105,453, backdated to 10/21/2025 when she was appointed to that position," and was followed by a second, according to the meeting record.

Speaker 1 (name not provided), the presiding speaker, acknowledged the motion and the second, asked whether there was further discussion and called for a vote: "All those in favor, please signify by raising your hand." The speaker later announced, "That carries unanimously. Thank you, Christie. We appreciate all the work that you do for us." Christie is identified in the meeting as the interim town manager.

The council did not record individual yes/no votes in the transcript; the announcement reflects a unanimous voice/hand vote. No additional details about funding sources, budget offsets, or implementation steps were discussed on the record during the item.

With the vote concluded and Christie acknowledged, the presiding speaker closed the meeting: "There being no further items on the agenda tonight, this meeting is adjourned."
