Soldier Township board OKs 4% cost-of-living raise for all employees
Summary
The board approved a 4% Cost-of-Living Adjustment for all township employees in a 3-0 vote after discussing budget impacts; the increase was moved by Member Glasgow and seconded by Member Mathes.
Soldier Township's board voted 3-0 on Nov. 2 to give all township employees a 4% cost-of-living adjustment for 2022. The adjustment followed a budget discussion led by Bob Oliva and Chief Doug Schmitt on how to cover the proposed increases.
Member Jerry Glasgow moved to approve the 4% COLA; Member Mike Mathes seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The board did not specify individual salary ranges in the minutes; department managers discussed funding the adjustment from the General budget.
Why it matters: the COLA increases recurring payroll expenses and will be reflected in 2022 budget monitoring.
