Stilwell council approves mandatory safety course with one-time incentive pay
Summary
The council approved a mandatory safety course for city employees with one-time incentive payments: $750 full-time; $700 volunteer firefighters and qualifying part-time; $350 for other part-time staff. Payments to be issued Nov. 24, 2025.
The Stilwell City Council on Nov. 10 approved a citywide safety course for employees and set a one-time financial incentive for those who complete the course and pass an appropriate test.
Under the approved guidelines, the incentive payments are: $750 for full-time employees; $700 for volunteer firefighters who are not full-time city employees; $700 for part-time employees who have worked 24 hours per week for the last 90 days; and $350 for part-time employees who have worked less than 24 hours per week for the last 90 days. Payments are to be issued on Nov. 24, 2025, by separate check with taxes and retirement withheld as appropriate.
Councilmember Jim Spray moved to approve the safety course and incentive schedule; Debbie Johnson seconded the motion. The minutes record votes of yes by Coye Nettles, Barrett Harris, Jim Spray and Debbie Johnson; the motion carried 4-0. The minutes do not indicate whether elected officials or contract personnel will be eligible (the agenda states those groups are excluded) beyond the high-level eligibility language, nor do they specify which department will administer the course or the testing standard.
The action was recorded at a special meeting that lasted roughly 14 minutes. The minutes do not include details about course provider, curriculum, or budget line items for the incentives.
