Summary

At a Dec. 16 special meeting, the Loyalton City Council reconvened from closed session and, by consensus, approved a $2.00-an-hour raise for staff member Kirsten Whitley; the meeting also approved the agenda and recorded no public comment.

Mayor J. Markum reconvened the Loyalton City Council’s Dec. 16 special meeting and said "it was decided by consensus of the council to approve a $2.00 an hour raise for Kirsten Whitley." The decision followed an earlier adjournment into closed session; the transcript does not record the closed-session discussion or any formal roll-call vote on the raise.

The raise applies to staff member Kirsten Whitley; no effective date, budget source, or further implementation details were provided in the meeting record. The action is described in the minutes as a council consensus rather than a recorded vote. City Clerk Kathy LeBlanc is listed in the meeting attendance and attested the minutes.

No authorities (ordinance, resolution, or statute) were cited in the transcript to authorize the raise, and the minutes do not list a mover, seconder, or vote tally for this personnel decision. The minutes show the council acting collectively and recording the outcome when the meeting reconvened.
