Town of Alexandria board approves 4% pay increase for full‑time nonunion and returning part‑time employees

The Town of Alexandria Board voted on Nov. 3 to increase pay for municipal employees, approving a motion that all full‑time nonunion employees receive a 4% raise and that returning part‑time employees receive the same 4% increase. S2, who opened and led the meeting, summarized the motion as "This is a motion that all full time nonunion employees get a 4% raise and all returning part time employees also get a 4% raise." The motion was recorded in the meeting minutes as moved by Tim and seconded by Sean and passed when those present answered "aye."

Board members did not record a roll-call tally of individual votes in the transcript excerpt; no opposed votes were announced. The pay change was presented as part of the board's review of the preliminary budget; no dollar amounts or estimated total payroll cost for the raises were specified in the transcript. The board also received a question from a resident later in the meeting asking whether a previously discussed raise had been 6%, but that question was not resolved in the recorded discussion.

The raise takes effect under the board's personnel and payroll procedures and will appear in the town's finalized budget documents; the transcript does not specify an effective date or the budget line that will fund the increases.
