Council approves additional staff holidays and retention pay in 6–2 vote
Summary
City Manager Kimberly Hines presented extra holidays and a retention pay schedule for city staff; the council approved the measure 6–2 after brief discussion about aligning with county holidays (Juneteenth excluded).
City Manager Kimberly Hines said the Department of Public Works and other city employees were offered additional holidays and a retention-pay schedule and brought the proposal to the Gladwin City Council Aug. 18 for approval.
Hines told the council the additional holidays largely align with county holidays but exclude Juneteenth; she said the retention schedule would apply citywide. Council members discussed how the change aligns with county practice and its effect on staffing and morale.
Council Member Darlington moved the measure and Council Member Winarski seconded. The council approved the proposal on a recorded vote of six ayes and two nays; the minutes do not name the dissenting members. The action applies to all city employees and was described by staff as intended to aid retention, particularly in DPW.
The council did not adopt an implementation timeline in the discussion recorded; staff will include the approved holidays and retention schedule in personnel administration processes going forward.
