Iron County Finance Committee · July 21, 2026

Summary

Following a closed-session review of employee compensation, the committee voted to continue the Cottingham and Butler wage structure, to hire between the 90%–100% grade range, and to continue work on addressing wage compression. The vote was unanimous after the committee returned to open session.

The Finance Committee entered closed session under Wisconsin Statute 19.85(1)(c) to consider employment and compensation data for specific employees. After returning to open session, the committee approved continuing with the Cottingham and Butler wage structure, directing hires to be made between the 90%–100% grade range and instructing staff to continue work on wage compression.

The motion was made by Lauer and seconded by Hanson and carried unanimously. The minutes record the closed-session purpose (wages and pay grades for specific employees) and the open-session action taken following that review.
