The Town of Porter Board of Trustees unanimously approved a one-time employee stipend of $600.00 net pay after taxes for each town employee during its special meeting May 21, 2026. Mayor Steve Dickey introduced the motion, saying employees "have put in a lot of hard work" on multiple town projects in addition to regular duties. The motion was seconded by Norma Meyer and passed 4-0 (Ryan Moore, Steve Dickey, Norma Meyer, Kevin Walker).
The board did not specify the number of employees covered or how the stipend will be processed beyond the description "net pay after taxes." The minutes record only the approved dollar amount and the unanimous vote. The stipend decision followed budget work earlier in the meeting, but the minutes do not connect the payout to a specific line item in the FY2026-2027 budget draft. The board adjourned at 6:34 p.m.
