Council members discussed awarding a bonus to city staffer Scot Wetjen during other business on Dec. 10, 2024. Mayor Heather Johnson reported she had consulted with Hennes, who suggested a $5,000 bonus for Wetjen.
Council member Cooling commented that $5,000 "is a lot" but did not oppose the suggestion during the discussion, and Walters expressed agreement with the $5,000 figure. The minutes state the council "went back and forth with varying numbers," but they do not record a formal motion, who moved or seconded such a motion, or a roll-call vote tied specifically to a bonus amount in the published record.
The discussion included praise for Wetjen’s work at the sewer plant and for going beyond job expectations; however, the meeting record does not provide a final, recorded decision or the approved dollar amount. The council proceeded to other business and then adjourned.
