Council sets equipment operator and helper pay rates; reviews hourly equipment charges
Summary
After discussion of staffing and equipment usage, council set general help at $15/hour and equipment operators at $18/hour and reviewed draft hourly equipment rates such as skid steer with operator at $140/hour.
The council addressed staffing and compensation after a maintenance resignation, discussing pay schedules and operator responsibilities. A motion to set rates passed: general helpers at $15 per hour and equipment operators at $18 per hour. The motion passed by voice vote.
Members also reviewed equipment rates for external charging and internal budgeting. Examples cited included a skid steer with operator at $140 per hour, a county backhoe rate at $165 per hour, and a dump truck at roughly $125 per hour. Councilors asked staff to finalize a consistent equipment-rate schedule, aligned where appropriate with county rates to simplify cross-jurisdiction work.
