Lennox meeting approves termination of finance officer, appoints interim and raises employee pay
Summary
Unidentified members approved termination of City Finance Officer Heidi Enon, appointed Jen Pato interim finance officer and official bank signer at $33.65 per hour, and temporarily raised Carly Hammer’s wage to $21.25 per hour; all motions passed by voice vote before adjournment.
Unidentified members of a Lennox governing body voted late in the meeting to terminate Heidi Enon from her position as City Finance Officer, then named Jen Pato as interim finance officer and official bank signer and approved a temporary pay increase for Carly Hammer.
The sequence began immediately after the body returned from executive session. Unidentified Speaker 2 moved to terminate Heidi Enan (transcript spelling) as the City Finance Officer for the City of Lenox; Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded. After a voice vote with recorded "aye" responses, the motion carried.
Unidentified Speaker 2 then moved to appoint Jen Pato as interim finance officer and official signer on the city's bank accounts at a rate of $33.65 per hour, which Unidentified Speaker 1 seconded. The body took a voice vote and approved the appointment.
A third personnel motion—also made by Unidentified Speaker 2 and seconded by Unidentified Speaker 1—temporarily raised Carly Hammer’s wage to $21.25 per hour. The motion passed on a subsequent voice vote.
Following those actions, Unidentified Speaker 1 moved to adjourn; the motion was seconded and the meeting was adjourned after a voice vote.
Details recorded in the transcript include the time the meeting returned from executive session (9:15 p.m.) and the hourly rates approved: $33.65 for the interim finance officer appointment and $21.25 for the temporary wage increase for Hammer. The transcript spells the finance officer's name as both "Heidi Enan" and "Heidi Enon" and refers to the municipality as "Lenox." The article standardizes the municipal name to "Lennox" and the more frequent transcript spelling for the officer as "Heidi Enon"; the transcript variants are noted here because the record contains inconsistent spellings.
