Summary

Soldier Township’s 2020 minutes document multiple personnel actions including hires for the road crew, promotion of a Road Foreman, conditional termination authority, and year-end bonuses and cost-of-living raises.

Throughout 2020 the board handled numerous personnel matters. After multiple resignations the road department hired apprentices and CDL drivers (Paul Burkhart, Skyler Fitzgerald, Brett Richardson, Scott Dutt/Day references in minutes). The board promoted Steve Vess to Road Foreman (approved 3-0 at the June meeting) and authorized Mr. Oliva to terminate Carl Harvey if his CDL was not reinstated by July 31.

At year end the board approved bonuses and raises: a $1,000 bonus for Chief Schmitt, and a 4% cost-of-living raise plus a $2,500 bonus for Administrator/Road Superintendent Bob Oliva. Several resignations and staffing shortfalls were discussed as the township balanced coverage and overtime during snow and pandemic conditions.
