Summary

Council approved consent items 24–27, accepted minutes, increased Jeff Smith’s rate to $26/hour and approved a $3/hour raise for a 'jacket' position; council discussed converting several part‑time employees to full time.

The council approved routine business, including consent agenda items 24–27 and the minutes from earlier meetings.

Chair moved several personnel actions: the council approved increasing Jeff Smith’s hourly rate to $26 for right‑of‑way work and approved a $3 per hour raise for the employee listed as 'jacket' in the record. The transcript records 'aye' votes and indicates the actions were approved unanimously.

Council also discussed converting named employees from part‑time to full‑time at $13 per hour if those employees are available. A motion was made to effect the change subject to availability; administrative follow up and confirmation were left to staff.

Why it matters: these routine approvals adjust personnel pay and staffing status that affect city operations and budgets in the current fiscal year.

The council recorded no roll‑call vote with member names in the transcript; the Chair called for the votes and the minutes reflect affirmative action on the items reported.
