Summary

Trustees adopted a policy allowing up to 14 days of vacation carryover, approved multiple staff pay increases effective Jan. 4, 2026, and awarded a $1,400 bonus to an employee for park work.

Morgan Township trustees approved several personnel actions at the Dec. 22 meeting, including a change to vacation carryover, multiple hourly pay increases for township staff effective Jan. 4, 2026, and a one-time bonus.

The board changed policy to allow employees to carry over up to 14 days of vacation to April 1 of the following year; unused carryover after April 1 would be forfeited. Trustees approved wage increases for a number of staff members: Mark Reinhart to $35.50/hour, Chris Likens to $30/hour (plus a $10 per-pay stipend for a personal phone), Sean Galligan to $24.50/hour, Dan Hirsch to $21/hour, Janice Kolb to $19/hour, Chrissy Hill to $27/hour, Amy Detmer to $23/hour and Darren Cliff to $22/hour.

The board also established a policy permitting employee bonuses for work performed beyond normal duties and approved a $1,400 bonus for Darren Cliff for his work on the park and playground project. The motions passed by voice/roll-call votes; trustees said the bonus recognizes extra responsibilities taken on by township staff.
