Summary
The council approved hiring Kyle Martin as a full‑time general laborer at $40,000 per year plus benefits and a $40 monthly stipend, and authorized a one‑time compensatory time payout for two employees; payout amounts were not specified in the minutes.
At its Oct. 20 meeting the Kalona City Council approved two personnel actions: hiring a full‑time general laborer and a one‑time compensatory‑time payout.
On a motion by Bender and seconded by J. Schmidt, the council approved hiring Kyle Martin as a full‑time general laborer with a start date of Oct. 20, 2025, an annual salary of $40,000, a $40 per month cellphone stipend and full‑time benefits. The motion carried with all members present voting yes.
Separately, the council authorized a one‑time compensatory time payout for employees Michael Martens and Keaton Redlinger (motion by Beisheim; second by J. Schmidt). The minutes state the payout is a one‑time option but do not specify the dollar amounts to be paid; the item records no further explanation or public comment.
The minutes do not indicate funding sources or whether the comp‑time payouts will be charged to a particular department or fund; payroll processing was assigned to Finance/Payroll as the implementing department.
