Board adopts salary adjustments for six town employees
Summary
The Elizabeth Town Board approved a set of salary increases for six employees, including changes for Bethany Allen, Jim Bashion, Paul Brown, Willard Hos, Nathan Hines, John Hos and Catherine Shoemaker; the board also approved a revision to align John H.'s pay with a peer.
The board approved salary adjustments for six town employees after reading the proposed changes into the public record.
The document presented listed individual changes: Bethany Allen’s hourly rate was revised upward (read as from 27.65 to 29.00), Jim Bashion’s hourly rate from $26.00 to $27.00, Paul Brown from $31.40 to $33.00, Willard H. was to receive an additional $100 (recorded as a monthly amount during discussion), Nathan Hines from $27.40 to $30.00, John H. from $27.40 to $29.00 (the board later voted to change John H. to $30.00 to match a peer), and Catherine Shoemaker from $24.00 to $25.00. A board member moved and seconded the group of changes; the motion carried on a voice vote. The board then approved a subsequent revision to raise John H. to $30.00 to keep parity with the other employee discussed.
Board members said the adjustments reflected retention and cost-of-living considerations for staff; one member noted family considerations for a staffer with children. The salary document and the board’s readings of figures were entered into the public meeting record. No further personnel details or effective dates beyond the meeting discussion were provided.
