Quorum Court approves library part-time wage increases funded by millage
Summary
The court adopted Ordinance O2024-16 to raise part-time library assistant cataloging pay to $13/hour and part-time assistant pay to $12/hour; the library board confirmed the increases will be paid from library millage and not from the county general fund.
The Van Buren County Quorum Court adopted an appropriation ordinance (recorded as O2024-16) to increase part-time library assistant wages: the cataloging position to $13 per hour and the part-time assistant to $12 per hour. The ordinance specifies the increases will be funded from library millage with no additional subsidy from the county general fund.
During discussion, Amberling, identified as president of the library board, described the librarys millage account and said it holds roughly $150,000 earmarked for an annual payment related to the library building. Board members and court members discussed millage fluctuations and confirmed the boards plan to fund the raises from that millage.
Clerks recorded a roll-call vote approving the ordinance; the clerk noted the ordinance number O2024-16 after adoption. The ordinance includes line-item transfer instructions and lists a total estimated cost of $1,318.67 for the remainder of the year as presented in the ordinance text.
