Dayton moves to fill Clerk‑Treasurer vacancy and approves staff pay changes
Summary
Council suspended rules to pass Ordinance 2026-11 on compensation for non‑elected employees and approved a $5 hourly increase for the Clerk Treasurer Assistant; the attorney outlined the statutory process to fill the Clerk‑Treasurer vacancy created by a death and will notify the county as a first step.
The Town of Dayton Council addressed personnel matters on March 17, 2026, including pay changes and the statutory process to fill a vacant Clerk‑Treasurer position.
The council voted to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 2026-11, which amends 2026 salary and compensation for non‑elected employees. The minutes do not reproduce the ordinance text. Separately, Mike Harris moved and the council approved an increase of $5.00 per hour for the Clerk Treasurer Assistant.
Town Attorney Patrick Jones reviewed the legal steps for filling the Clerk‑Treasurer vacancy arising from a death: the council must select an individual within 30 days after the council president receives notice from the Circuit Court Clerk. Jones said he would send the required notification to the county and Marc Buhrmester said he would draft a job posting and circulate it to council members for review.
