Ross Township trustees approve promotion of police administrative assistant to full time

Ross Township Board of Trustees voted to promote part‑time Administrative Assistant Michaela Little to a full‑time administrative assistant in the police department and to amend staffing and pay levels for the fiscal year ending Dec. 31, 2024. The motion included an hourly rate of $25 and an effective date of Oct. 20, 2024.

The move was presented as part of a set of staffing‑level adjustments the board said were needed after proposed changes to the police department structure. The board called the roll and recorded affirmative votes by Trustee Bow, Trustee Young and Trustee McGurren. The motion was entered as motion number 24-138 on the agenda and was discussed alongside a resolution to update the staffing level and pay summary for 2024.

The resolution and motion directed staff to update pay tables and staffing records to reflect the change. No public speakers raised objections during the motion and vote segment in the transcript.

The board did not record a named mover or seconder in the transcript excerpt provided. The promotion and pay‑rate language reads, in the transcript, "promote part‑time Administrative Assistant Michaela little to full‑time administrative assistant in the police department at an hourly rate of $25 per hour effective October 20th 2024." The board then completed a roll‑call vote.

The trustees adjourned the meeting and set the next regular meeting for Thursday, Nov. 7, at 6 p.m. at the Ross Township government offices.
