Loganton approves pay increases for laborers, operators and secretary

At the Jan. 5 meeting, council members approved a set of pay adjustments for borough positions. Motions passed to raise the Water Operator and Water Meter Reader/Rent Collector hourly rates to $18.00, to set starting pay for new laborer hires (new hires to start at $16.00 per hour in one motion and another motion set new-hire starting pay at $15.50—minutes indicate council resolved to set a starting rate but also later approved raising laborer pay; see clarifying details), and to keep the truck operator rate unchanged.
