Summary
After discussion about recruitment and pay, commissioners approved a salary ordinance adding a cemetery supervisor and mower positions to address understaffing; members debated raising wages versus adding positions.
The commission approved a salary ordinance that adds positions for cemetery maintenance, including a cemetery supervisor and additional mower positions. Commissioners discussed whether boosting hourly pay would be a better recruitment strategy than adding headcount but ultimately passed the ordinance as presented.
A commissioner described recruitment difficulty: "We went through 4 applications...there just doesn't seem too many people wanna work for $12 on 0.25 an hour," and another commissioner urged caution about adding positions without clear funding. The motion passed by voice vote.
