Trustees approve 75¢ hourly raise for Morgan Township fire department employees
Summary
Trustees approved a resolution to increase fire department pay by $0.75 per hour, effective May 10, 2026, standardizing annual increases rather than anniversary-based raises. The resolution passed by voice vote at the April 27 meeting.
Chief Henry requested trustee approval of a resolution to implement a $0.75 per hour increase for all fire department employees effective May 10, 2026, describing the change as a continuation of the township’s compensation adjustments moving from anniversary-based raises to a standardized annual increase.
"I just request an approval of a resolution to implement a 75 cents per hour increase for all fire department employees effective May 10th, 2026," Chief Henry said. Trustees discussed that the increase applies across the board to officers and line firefighters.
A trustee moved and the motion was seconded; the board approved the resolution by voice vote. The increase was presented as a budgeted adjustment after consultation with the fiscal office.
The resolution takes effect May 10, 2026. There were no recorded opposing votes in the meeting record; trustees signaled assent during the voice vote and the chair declared the motion approved.
