Bainville approves $1 hourly raise for town employees, tables pay changes for officials
Summary
At its Dec. 9, 2024 regular meeting, the Bainville Town Council approved a $1.00 hourly pay increase for town employees effective January 2025 and tabled proposed raises for the fire chief and council members until the next meeting.
The Bainville Town Council voted unanimously Dec. 9 to give all town employees a $1.00 hourly raise, effective January 2025. Councilmember John Gilligan moved the measure; Councilmember Carol Rasmussen seconded and the motion passed without recorded opposition.
The raise followed a recommendation from Mayor Toby Romo and brief discussion among council members. Romo introduced the idea and council deliberation focused on establishing the increase for general town staff. The measure approved by the council applies to town employees; the minutes do not list individual employee names or a total annual cost.
The council also considered pay increases for the Bainville fire chief and for council members. Mayor Romo "recommended a pay raise for the Fire Chief and Council Members," the minutes state, but council members decided to table that separate recommendation until the January meeting for further consideration.
The minutes record the council meeting was called to order at 7 p.m. and adjourned at 8:07 p.m. The next regular meeting is listed as Jan. 13; the year printed in the minutes appears inconsistent with the Dec. 9, 2024 meeting date and was not clarified in the record.
Actions recorded in the minutes show the raise motion was moved by John Gilligan and seconded by Carol Rasmussen and carried unanimously. No further details about implementation steps, budget offsets or estimated fiscal impact were recorded in the minutes.
