Board apologizes for liquor-license delay, pledges process fix; approves CDL and heavy-equipment pay rates
Summary
A trustee acknowledged a prior-year delay in sending liquor-license funds to the state and apologized; the board agreed to change internal timing so checks accompany approvals. Separately, trustees approved new pay rates: $19 per hour for CDL drivers and $21 for heavy-equipment operators.
During public comment the board addressed a lingering administrative problem: liquor-license checks that should reach the Department of Revenue by May 20 were delayed because the board historically approved the checks in June. Speaker 8 accepted responsibility, apologized and the board agreed to adjust its internal timing so license approvals and associated checks are processed together rather than waiting until the June meeting.
Separately, Chair (Speaker 1) moved to set pay rates for CDL drivers at $19 per hour and for heavy-equipment operators at $21 per hour. A trustee seconded the motion, the board voted in favor, and the motion carried.
Trustees said they will update internal procedures for license processing and ensure future licensing funds are transmitted in a timely manner; staff will bring any needed process changes back to the board for confirmation.
