Board discusses hiring lake level operator, proposes roughly $11,007 annual pay
Summary
Commissioners reviewed interviews for the lake level control operator, debated where to place the candidate on a grade-3 wage scale and agreed to offer the job pending acceptance and final board approval. The board discussed budget impacts for seasonal hours and SAD fund contributions.
The Roscommon County Board of Commissioners discussed hiring a lake level control structure operator after interviewing two of four applicants and signaled intent to offer one candidate the position pending acceptance and final board approval.
Commissioners debated wage placement within the grade-3 scale (step 1 = $19.21/hr to step 7 = $22.60/hr) and estimated annual pay based on roughly 10 hours per week (520 hours per year). One commissioner recommended “around $11,000,” and another explicitly stated, “I recommend $11,007.52 that you mentioned,” reflecting the board’s tentative midpoint between the wage-scale low and high points. The board agreed the operator will have delegated ability to make day-to-day calls on lake levels but that final policy direction remains with the board and staff oversight.
Members emphasized evaluating how hours vary seasonally—spring may require daily presence—and the need to protect special-assessment-district (SAD) funds so ongoing assessments are sustainable. Chair and staff said they will contact the candidate and, if he accepts, return to the board for final approval.
