Winterset council approves salary increases for department supervisors
Summary
On June 15, 2026 the Winterset City Council adopted Resolution No. 2026‑29, raising bi‑weekly and annual pay for six department supervisors; increases range from 3.25% to 15% and the resolution passed unanimously by those present.
The Winterset City Council on June 15, 2026 approved Resolution No. 2026‑29, which sets new bi‑weekly and annual salaries for six department supervisors for fiscal year 2026–2027. The resolution passed on a roll‑call vote with all Council Members present voting Aye.
The resolution lists the following supervisors and figures as passed by the council: Andrew Barden, City Administrator/City Clerk — new bi‑weekly $5,724.82, annual $148,845.32 (3.25% increase); Ryan Pittman — new bi‑weekly $4,394.62, annual $114,260.12 (15% increase); Roger Shortt — bi‑weekly $3,651.38, annual $94,935.88 (3.25%); Sky Smothers — bi‑weekly $3,653.18, annual $94,982.68 (5%); Ryan Flaherty — bi‑weekly $2,860.08, annual $74,362.08 (3.25%); and David Hargrove — bi‑weekly $2,574.06, annual $66,925.66 (3.25%). The resolution is recorded as passed and approved June 15, 2026 and attested by Mayor Thomas J. Leners and City Administrator/City Clerk Andrew Barden.
Council Member Michael Eller made the motion to adopt the resolution, seconded by Council Member Mike Fletcher; the record notes a unanimous Aye vote among members present. The transcript contains no direct verbatim quotes from council members on the pay adjustments; the document lists the salary figures and the formal adoption language.
Because the resolution item contains explicit dollar amounts and percent adjustments for named supervisors, the record preserves those figures as the council action. The transcript does not calculate the total citywide payroll impact or show an amended budget line; those totals were not specified in the meeting record.
The resolution becomes part of the official minutes and was attested by Mayor Leners and City Administrator/City Clerk Barden at the close of the meeting.
