Council approves one-time $250 employee bonus funded from investment earnings
Summary
Council approved a one-time $250 bonus for city employees (total estimated about $8,500), to recognize staff performance; council members voted to approve the recommendation and staff will execute payments.
Mayor John Williams told council he recommended a one-time $250 bonus per employee, funded from investment earnings, to acknowledge staff work this year. He said the total cost associated with the payment would be about $8,500 and that the city’s investment returns put the city in a position to recognize employees without affecting future budgets.
A council member seconded the recommendation and the council voted unanimously to approve the payment. "I will entertain a motion to approve my recommendation for that," the mayor said before the motion and vote. Council asked staff to process the payment and to communicate the award to employees.
The payment was described as a modest, one-time recognition rather than an ongoing salary increase; staff will proceed to implement the payment process.
