Lawrenceburg utility board approves pay raise for utility director
Summary
The Lawrenceburg City Utility Service Board approved a motion to raise the utility director's annual salary to $115,000 and grant an extra week of vacation, and asked staff to draft the required ordinance and contract.
The Lawrenceburg City Utility Service Board approved a motion on July 24 to raise the utility director's annual salary to $115,000 and add one week of vacation, both effective immediately. Chair opened the 9:10 a.m. work session saying the meeting's sole purpose was "to get a motion on utility director's compensation, and a benefit."
The Clerk performed a roll call after a motion and second. The transcript records the following votes: Council person Tony Abbott — Aye; Bill Little — Aye; Council person Tom Merulet — Aye; Council person Lenny Freiman — Nay; Council person Brett Laundry — Nay. The Chair declared the motion approved. The motion text on the record described raising the annual salary to $115,000 and providing an additional week's vacation effective immediately.
A board member noted that implementation requires a formal salary ordinance and a contract. The Clerk said, "We'll need a salary ordinance," and asked staff (identified in the transcript as Adele) to prepare the contract paperwork. The board did not record the mover or seconder of the motion in the transcript.
The vote record in the transcript lists three explicit "Aye" votes and two "Nay" votes; the Chair also announced the motion carried. The board's action takes effect contingent on the drafting and adoption of the required ordinance and contract.
