Cold Spring approves payment to backup water operator for storm shift
Summary
The board approved payment for backup operator Ryan Carroza for eight hours of on-site storm-related work on July 9, 2026, and discussed aligning the secondary operator wage with the superintendent's pay because licenses are equivalent.
The Cold Spring Village Board approved payment for backup water/wastewater operator Ryan Carroza after the village confirmed he worked an overnight shift during the July storm to provide on-site process control adjustments and water production. Mayor Foley said in public session that Carroza "provided 8 hours of on-site process control adjustments and water production on Thursday, 07/09/2026 from 02:15PM to 10:15PM."
Mayor Foley also said the superintendent recommended setting the secondary water treatment plant operator hourly wage equal to the superintendent's rate because the licenses held are the same. The board moved to approve payment of $51.16 to Carroza on a consultancy basis (transcript also references $10.99 in the same discussion); the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
