Carrolton council narrowly approves moral-claim to grant employee one-quarter sick leave
Summary
Council approved a moral-claim payment to allow employee Mark Wells to receive one-quarter of his accrued sick leave in a 4-2 vote; council instructed Clark to draft an ordinance for formal consideration at the next meeting.
The Carrolton Village Council voted 4-2 on April 13 to approve a moral-claim payment that would permit employee Mark Wells to receive one-quarter of his accumulated sick leave, a benefit members said should have been written correctly into his contract.
Council member Barto moved the moral-claim motion and Butterfield seconded. The motion passed with Tangler, Parker, Barto and Butterfield voting in favor and Lambert and Locke opposed. Minutes state the motion was framed as a moral claim to correct how Mark’s contract had been written; Clark will prepare an ordinance formalizing the change for the next meeting.
Mark Wells spoke during the mayor’s report about his sick leave; the minutes do not record the exact dollar amount or the total hours of sick leave at issue. The council’s vote authorizes the moral-claim adjustment subject to preparation and filing of the ordinance; the minutes indicate Clark will draft that ordinance for council consideration at the next meeting.
