Council outlines $400 weekly stipend, hotel coverage for interim administrator
Summary
Council discussed and confirmed a taxable stipend of roughly $400 per week to help cover two hotel nights in Junction City for the interim administrator when he is required to work in town; stipend is reduced for weeks he is not present.
Councilors asked how temporary housing would be handled for the interim administrator during the appointment. A council speaker explained the proposal includes a taxable stipend intended to cover hotel stays when the interim administrator works in Junction City.
"It's roughly $400 a week, and so that would be two nights of a hotel stay per week," the speaker said, adding that the stipend would be taxed and reduced for weeks when the administrator did not come to Junction City.
Councilors and staff discussed treating prior, prearranged time off as already planned and agreed that payroll adjustments would reflect days not worked in the city. The stipend was described as intended for short-term lodging while the appointee helps with budget season and other city duties.
