Carney trustees allocate $20,000 in remaining ARPA funds toward staff salaries
Summary
The Carney Public Utilities Authority Board unanimously approved allocating $20,000 of remaining ARPA funds to staff salaries for four employees; the individual amounts will be set at a later meeting.
The Board of Trustees for the Carney Public Utilities Authority voted unanimously Sept. 12 to allocate $20,000 of the town's remaining ARPA funds toward staff salaries.
Trustee Darrel Gibbs moved to allocate the money and Trustee Greg Wolfe seconded; the minutes record the action as: "A motion was made by Darrel Gibbs, 2" by Greg Wolfe to allocate $20,000 of the remaining ARPA funds towards salaries for Tara Donovan, Ginger Mendenhall, Emily Anderson, and Johnny Graham. Detailed amounts will be decided at a later date." The vote was recorded as Yea: All; Opposed: None.
The allocation followed a listed executive-session agenda item citing 25 Oklahoma Statutes, section 307, for discussion of employment matters for the same employees; the agenda indicates no formal action was recorded during the executive-session notice, and the salary-allocation motion occurred in open session. The record specifies the four named employees to receive the allocation but does not list individual amounts, which the board said will be determined later.
Next steps: the board did not set individual salary amounts during the Sept. 12 meeting; the minutes indicate those figures will be decided at a future meeting. No outside approvals or additional funding sources were cited in the meeting record.
