The Elberta Village Council on May 21 adopted a package of routine municipal measures, including two amendments to the FY26/27 wage and compensation schedule that raised employee rates and set the treasurer's wage at $29.00 per hour, effective May 17, 2026.
The wage changes were carried by motions from Radionoff and seconded by Holmes (Resolution #2026-001a for the treasurer) and Radionoff seconded by Fiebing (Resolution #2026-002a for employee wage rates). Both resolutions passed on roll call with all five council members recorded as voting aye; Council member Wilkins recused from the payroll vote as noted on the record.
