Council approves one‑time bonuses totaling $6,000 for city employees
Summary
Cherry Valley’s council approved one‑time bonuses totaling $6,000 for five employees after executive session; the record shows the amounts but the transcript does not record a roll‑call vote or the name of one $250 recipient.
Cherry Valley’s council and mayor voted to award one‑time bonuses totaling $6,000 to municipal employees after returning from executive session.
According to the motion reported in open session, the council approved $2,000 each to Jamie Walls and Stacy Bent, $1,000 to Shane Bale, $750 to Sid Pinley and $250 to a staff member whose name was unclear in the meeting record. The council moved, a second was recorded and the motion was passed; the transcript does not list a roll‑call or individual vote tallies.
Council members clarified that the figures represent gross amounts; taxes will be withheld from those sums so employees receive the remainder. The council did not take further action on personnel policy at the meeting.
The bonuses were presented as findings from the executive session; the body announced the amounts in open session and immediately approved them by motion. The council did not attach additional conditions to the payments.
The council returned to other agenda items after the completion of the bonus motion and did not revisit the personnel decisions that night.
