Stonington trustees to seek $5 hourly bump for SNAWS labor rate
Summary
At its April 15 finance meeting the Village of Stonington Board of Trustees decided to place a proposal on the May 4 agenda to raise the SNAWS hourly labor rate from $35.00 to $40.00, citing a larger service area and no current mileage charge.
President Bruce Dowdy opened the April 15 finance meeting with a review of SNAWS labor rates and the service-area changes. The board resolved to place a proposal on the May 4, 2026 agenda to raise the current hourly labor rate by $5.00, up from $35.00 to a proposed $40.00, noting that the service area has grown while no mileage is billed.
The change was described as an administrative rate adjustment to be finalized at the May 4 meeting. The record does not expand the SNAWS acronym; the board minutes present the increase as a board decision to be officially voted on at the next meeting.
