Morgan County water board approves raising boot allowance to $250
Summary
The Morgan County Water District board voted to raise the annual boot allowance for staff from $150 to $250; the motion was made, seconded, and approved by voice vote at the June meeting.
The Morgan County Water District board voted on June 15 to raise the staff boot allowance from $150 to $250 per year.
Board members debated whether the minutes already showed a $150 allowance and discussed the practical cost of work boots, with one member noting good-quality waterproof boots commonly cost more than $200. After a motion to raise the allowance and a second, the board approved the increase by voice vote. The board asked staff to update reimbursement procedures so employees can submit receipts for reimbursement or the district can order boots through a vendor.
The vote was recorded by voice; the transcript shows the motion was made and seconded and that the chair declared the motion carried. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. The board also noted other personal protective equipment is provided in bulk through district purchases.
