Summary

The Palco council voted unanimously to hire Calvin DeYoung as a full-time Assistant Superintendent at $15.00 per hour for 40 hours per week, subject to a 90-day probation with staged health-insurance contributions.

After an executive-session interview, the council voted to hire Calvin DeYoung as a full-time employee at 40 hours per week with a starting wage of $15.00 per hour. The hire is subject to a 90-day probationary period.

Per the motion, DeYoung becomes eligible for paid time off (PTO) and health insurance after the 90-day probation. During that initial eligibility period he will be responsible for 50% of the insurance premium; after six months of employment the City will assume the full cost of his insurance premium. The motion also restored another employee, Rick, to his original schedule of up to 10 hours per week. The motion carried 5-0.

Why this matters: the hiring fills an open Assistant Superintendent position and commits short-term insurance-cost sharing followed by full city coverage after six months, which has implications for personnel budgeting and benefits administration.
