Council raises pay for summer band director and members
Summary
The council approved increased pay for the summer band series: director pay set at $500, local members to receive $25 (up from $20), and out-of-area members $30 (up from $25); the motion passed 6–0 with two absent.
Knoxville officials approved an increase in pay for the city's summer band series at the June 16 council meeting.
Mayor Myers outlined the changes: the band director would receive $500; members who currently receive $20 would be raised to $25; members from outside the local area who currently receive $25 would be raised to $30, bringing city pay in line with surrounding communities. “Alderman Gruner made a motion to move forward with the Band pay increase,” the minutes record; Alderman Hillier seconded and the motion passed with six Yes votes and two absent.
The minutes do not list a specific funding source or line-item adjustment; the council approved the pay changes in a single motion recorded in the meeting minutes.
