Committee approves $500 merit pay for employee who stepped in during parade setup
Summary
By unanimous vote the committee approved a $500 merit payment under policy 2.13(2) for Ken Rozak for stepping in to support parade setup; the mayor lauded Rozak’s consistent dedication and the payment was described as a citizen thank‑you with tax implications for net amount.
The Personnel Committee approved a $500 merit payment to employee Ken Rozak under policy 2.13(2), praising his quick response when staffing gaps arose during parade setup.
The mayor recommended the payment and described Rozak as a reliable employee who stepped in even though he was not on call. "Ken, has, proven himself time and again as a dedicated employee," the mayor said, urging the committee to use the policy to recognize that work. The mayor noted the $500 payment would be reduced by taxes, describing the approximate take‑home as "probably be somewhere around 3.5 after taxes" in the recorded discussion.
A committee member asked whether the work involved retrieving barrels already staged or fetching and transporting them; the mayor clarified Rozak and staff gathered barrels at the street yard, loaded them, and placed them at parade sites with police assistance. The motion to approve the merit payment (mover: Olson; second: Donahue) passed unanimously.
