Thayne council raises Town Clerk/Treasurer pay to $21 per hour
Summary
On Oct. 18 the Thayne Town Council voted to raise the Town Clerk/Treasurer wage to $21 per hour plus benefits after a wage survey; the motion passed with Councilman Wicks recorded as opposed.
The Thayne Town Council voted Oct. 18 to raise the Town Clerk/Treasurer wage to $21.00 per hour plus benefits following a review of comparative pay for similar communities, the minutes show.
Mayor A. DeLand Lainhart reported he completed an investigation into local wages and presented an average range of $15.00 to $29.86 per hour for comparable communities; the minutes record that "Caite" accepted $21.00 per hour with benefits. Councilman Heward moved the pay change; Councilman Woolley seconded. The minutes note Councilman Wicks opposed the motion; it otherwise carried.
The minutes do not record whether the raise is retroactive or list a start date for the new pay rate. The council also moved later in the meeting to ratify checks and to pay the bills presented; the bill lists are included in the minutes. The meeting adjourned at 6:10 P.M.
The minutes provide limited detail on implementation: they do not specify who will administer the wage change, whether budget adjustments are required, or whether benefits costs will alter payroll totals.
