Glenburn council approves staff raises, reinstates NDPERS defined-contribution option

The Glenburn City Council voted on July 6 to grant 5% raises to two long‑serving staff members and to reopen enrollment in the North Dakota Public Employees Retirement System (NDPERS) defined-contribution plan.

Mayor Eric Folstad presided over the meeting where councilors approved 5% raises for Donna Zeltinger and Daryl Dotson, retroactive to April 1, 2026; the council recorded the vote after a motion by Dustin Dewbre and a second by Taylor Dotson. The transcript records the raises as approved by roll call: Eric Folstad, Dustin Dewbre, David Hoff and Taylor Dotson in favor.

The council also moved to reinstate the NDPERS defined-contribution option so that staff can contribute; Dustin Dewbre moved the reinstatement, David Hoff seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

The council discussed staff coverage and scheduling while noting that Daryl Dotson will take vacation July 20–24 and the city office will be closed July 20 because Rose Miltenberger will attend training in Bismarck that day.

The transcript contains a factual inconsistency about the City Auditor title: during the personnel discussion the minutes state Rose Miltenberger was "just hired as City Auditor" and should remain at her current rate, while the meeting signature block at the end of the minutes lists "City Auditor Donna Zeltinger." The council record does not resolve that discrepancy; the council approved raises for Donna Zeltinger and Daryl Dotson as recorded.

No dollar amounts beyond the percentage raises were provided for the personnel changes. The council did not take further personnel actions at the meeting.
