Silver Creek supervisors approve hires, set pay offers for clerk and maintenance workers
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board authorized pay offers to two new hires: a clerk/treasurer offer of $28/hour for six months (review to $30) with limited PTO, and a maintenance position offer up to $35/hour. The clerk offer passed 3-0 with one abstention; the maintenance offer passed 4-0.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors on Feb. 5 authorized offers to fill two township positions, voting to have the chair extend terms to successful candidates once they accept.
Chair Mike Helman told the board that interview panels had recommended the top candidate for clerk/treasurer after three interviews. Supervisor Andy Christensen moved that Helman extend an offer of $28.00 per hour for six months with a favorable review to $30.00 thereafter; the motion included a provision that 16 hours of PTO not be used during the first six months. Supervisor Sandy Forsman seconded the motion; the minutes record the motion as carried 3-0, with Supervisor Ryan Nelson recorded as abstaining.
Helman and Chris Kline presented the maintenance-candidate interview. Supervisor Ryan Nelson moved to extend an offer to the maintenance candidate at up to $35.00 per hour; Supervisor Andy Christensen seconded and the motion carried 4-0. The board said candidate names will be announced once formal offers are accepted.
The decisions are administrative personnel actions; there was no recorded public debate on the individual candidates in the meeting minutes. The board also noted that candidate details would be publicized after acceptance and formal offer letters are returned.
Next steps: the chair will extend the offers and report back once candidates accept and employment paperwork is complete.
