Port Wing schedules June 16 special meeting to consider elected-official pay; 10% increase motion recorded
Summary
At the annual meeting the board scheduled a special meeting for June 16 to discuss compensation for town elected officials; a motion proposing a 10% pay increase was made and seconded but the minutes do not record a final vote.
Gail Gonsior moved and John Berton seconded a motion to hold a Special Meeting at 7 p.m. on June 16 at the Fire Hall to discuss and vote on establishing compensation for Port Wing's elected officials. Separately, Gonsior made a motion, seconded by Michael Upthegrove, to increase elected-official salaries by 10% over current wages (the minutes cite prior budget decisions from Nov. 11 and Dec. 2, 2024 as the basis for current wages). The minutes note the motion and second but do not record a vote on the 10% increase.
The minutes state the last salary increase for elected officials occurred in 2011. The special meeting is the procedural next step for the town to consider compensation changes; the annual meeting minutes do not indicate whether the 10% proposal will be on that special meeting's agenda or whether additional information (cost estimates, budget offsets) was provided at the annual meeting.
Next steps recorded in the minutes: the special meeting date and time were set; no formal change to compensation was recorded at the annual meeting.
