Wardsville board approves pay increase for village attorney
Summary
The Wardsville Board of Trustees on June 3 approved a $30-per-hour increase for village counsel David Bandre', who had not received a raise since 2012; the motion passed unanimously.
The Village of Wardsville Board of Trustees voted June 3 to approve an increase of $30 per hour to the contract rate for village counsel David Bandre'. The motion to approve the revised contract was made by Board Member Brian Schrimpf and seconded by Co-Chair Rachel Busche; the board voted unanimously to carry the motion.
Bandre' told the board his contract was set to expire in July and requested the increase; Clerk Libby Chipman told the board he had not received a raise since 2012. Board discussion recorded in the minutes did not list a revised total hourly rate or address budgetary funding sources for the increase.
The vote follows routine business at the June 3 meeting, which the board called to order at 6:31 p.m. and during which members also approved minutes and the May treasurer's report. The minutes state the contract change was approved unanimously with the motion maker and seconding member recorded in the meeting record.
The board did not attach additional conditions to the contract in the meeting record. The minutes do not specify whether the village will amend the fiscal-year budget to reflect the higher legal-services expense; no follow-up assignment was recorded in the minutes.
