County and town approve Energy Conservation Works budget with 6% compensation increase
Summary
Commissioner Carmen moved and Commissioner Probst seconded motions in county and town sessions to approve the ECW budget, adopting a 6% compensation increase for ECW contract employees instead of the initially proposed 4.5%; both motions carried by voice vote.
At the end of the joint budget meeting, both the county commission and town council approved the Energy Conservation Works (ECW) budget and a compensation adjustment. Commissioner Carmen moved to approve the ECW budget with a total 6% compensation increase, rather than the 4.5% initially proposed. Commissioner Probst seconded the county motion; commissioners responded with "aye" and the motion carried.
The town council subsequently moved and seconded a companion motion; councillors likewise voiced "aye," approving the town's portion of the ECW budget with the 6% compensation increase. Staff earlier had noted the ECW board had not yet formally considered the 6% request but that an increase of approximately $4,125 split three ways had been discussed as part of aligning ECW contract compensation with broader 6% adjustments under consideration.
What’s next: staff will reflect the approved compensation level in the ECW budget and return any final budget documents for formal adoption by each body’s scheduled vote sequence.
