Resident asks council to clarify ".80 cents" payroll notation recorded in Dec. 2 minutes
Summary
Wellington Butler asked the council what the ".80 cents" notation in the Dec. 2 minutes meant and whether it represented per-hour pay, per-month or salary; the council said the motion should have reflected ".80 cents per hour."
During public comment Wellington Butler asked the council to clarify a notation in the Dec. 2 minutes stating the city had "made a motion to pay city employees .80 cents." Butler asked whether ".80 cents" was per hour, per month or a salary amount. Council member Angela Evans said the motion should have reflected ".80 cents per hour," according to the minutes.
The minutes do not offer additional context about whether the notation refers to a wage change, an allowance, or a typographical error; the clerk or finance staff would need to provide payroll documentation to clarify the item. The council did not take a separate corrective vote at the Dec. 16 meeting.
