Interlaken officials discuss proposed pay adjustment for town administrator under Ordinance No. 20
Summary
Town officials reviewed Ordinance No. 20, described as a cost-of-living adjustment for the town administrator with an hourly difference described in the record as $3 then restated as $4 per hour; public comment praised staff. No final vote was recorded at this meeting.
The chair opened a brief Interlaken Town meeting and introduced discussion of Ordinance No. 20, saying the item was "specifically about the compensation increase, cost of living adjustment for the town administrator." The chair also described a change in the wording as "increasing by $3 an hour" and later confirmed "$4 per hour," reflecting confusion in the spoken record about the precise hourly amount.
A committee member acknowledged the subject and the chair identified the item on the agenda as "Ordinance number 20" which, according to the chair, would amend compensation. The chair instructed members of the public who wished to speak to state their full name and address and said total public-comment time would be limited to 20 minutes.
During public comment, a resident praised town staff and referred to "Natasha Lingo," saying, "I wanna say that you folks earn every penny and more that is written on this piece of paper." The chair responded, "Thank you, Tasha." The transcript does not identify whether Natasha Lingo is the town administrator or another staff member; the name appears only in public comment.
The chair checked online attendance, said that approvals for the item occur at the council meeting rather than at this hearing, and then called for a motion. The chair said, "Motion to adjourn," and the record ends without a formal vote on Ordinance No. 20 recorded in the transcript.
The next procedural step, as stated in the meeting, is consideration and formal approval at a future council meeting; the transcript does not provide a vote tally, effective dates, or further substantive details of the ordinance text.
