Council affirms Ward 1 election canvass; approves pay bump for certified pool operator
Summary
The council voted to canvass the Ward 1 election and approved a 50-cent-per-hour wage increase for David Price after he presented a certification dated May 13. Both motions passed by roll call with all members recorded as voting in favor.
The council voted to formally canvass the Ward 1 election and approved a personnel pay adjustment for the town pool operator in a single meeting that also covered recruitment and pool maintenance plans. The canvass motion passed on a roll-call vote; Marla, Caleb, Jessica, JR, Mike and Terry were recorded as voting in the affirmative.
Chair (speaker 3) told the council the poll books were available for inspection and read precinct and absentee counts into the record, saying “Absentee votes, 4 for Yackley, 3 for Oliver. Agar Fire, 1 for Yackley, 0 for Oliver. [Phoenix Center] 51 Yackley, 31 Oliver.” The chair noted members could review poll books but not ballots. The council moved to canvass Ward 1 and the motion carried following roll-call confirmation.
On a separate motion, the council considered a pay increase for David Price, the pool operator. The chair announced Price had become certified on May 13 and that the certification entitled him to a 50-cent-per-hour increase. After brief discussion about certification timing and remaining service requirements, a motion to grant the 50¢ hourly increase was made and seconded; the same roll-call participants were recorded as voting in favor and the motion carried.
No member raised a recorded dissent during either roll call. The meeting then turned to operational matters and adjourned.
Next steps: the council did not identify further formal actions tied to the canvass beyond making the record; the pay change will be implemented according to personnel procedures.
