Commission narrows pay changes, approves PRN hire and conditional COLA plan
Summary
After extended discussion the commission authorized a $21/hour 'as-needed' hire for grounds work, approved a $7,500 increase for a senior staffer (Casey), and agreed a 2.7% COLA would apply to Zach only if he steps down from the supervisor role.
Hillsboro commissioners debated a multi-part personnel package that included a proposed COLA, specific raises, and an 'as-needed' hire for seasonal work.
The commission voted to offer Kelby an 'as-needed' (PRN) position at $21/hour to support mowing, streets and summer crews. "I'll make a motion to bring it on at $21 an hour," a commissioner said; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with commissioners providing affirmative votes.
On broader compensation, the commission moved to freeze most raises but approved two exceptions: a $7,500 increase for Casey (a senior staff member) and the 2.7% COLA for Zach only if he steps down from the supervisory administrative duties. Commissioners cited staff retention concerns and the projected 12% rise in health-insurance costs when weighing the decision. "She's taken on an awful lot... I think we should get her up where I feel she should be," one commissioner said in support of Casey's increase.
Staff were directed to finalize offers and return to the commission with details about how the changes would be integrated into the overall budget.
