Sumpter fire report: mutual-aid donation, new standby pay proposed
Summary
Sumpter officials heard a fire-department report noting a $500 mutual-aid donation and discussed raising standby pay to $20/hour (department time $25), up from the $15/hour the council originally budgeted; staff will review time cards to determine retroactive pay and grant eligibility.
Agency official (speaker 2) opened the meeting’s reports by summarizing recent calls and noting outside assistance and a donation for support. "Powder River Fire Department is here in the in the Sumter Fire Department," the official said, and added that the city received a $500 donation for mutual aid that Cindy Morgan is likely preparing a check for.
The discussion turned to pay rates for standby and department time. Speaker 2 said standby time would be set at $20 an hour and department time at $25; council members noted the budget had initially used $15 an hour. Clerk (speaker 3) and others said they need a time-card breakdown to identify which hours are grant-eligible and whether any retroactive pay is required. Action: Kurt will review time cards and report back on the rates and any necessary retro pay.
