Roaming Shores council approves police salary emergency and commends longtime clerk
Summary
Council unanimously approved Ordinance 2026-03-07 (police salary scale, emergency declaration) and adopted Resolution 2026-03-08R honoring Carrie Phillips; council also approved meeting minutes and several routine reports.
Roaming Shores council recorded several formal actions during its meeting, including adoption of an emergency police-salary ordinance and a resolution recognizing outgoing Clerk-Treasurer Carrie Phillips.
On Ordinance 2026-03-07, which approves the police department salary scale for fiscal years 2026–2030 and clarifies longevity-paying language, council members discussed whether the text needed a retroactive date and whether an emergency declaration was appropriate. After discussion, a motion was made and council declared the ordinance an emergency; subsequent roll-call votes recorded unanimous approval for the ordinance as presented.
Council also moved to accept the work-session and regular meeting minutes of March 3 and recorded a unanimous roll-call vote to approve them. Later, Council considered Resolution 2026-03-08R commending Carrie Phillips for her service as clerk-treasurer and for leadership in implementing new municipal billing and accounting software; the resolution passed by unanimous roll call.
