Pay Raise For Village Employees
The village council heard Commissioner Earl Witt propose a $300 yearly raise for full time staff and $150 for four part time workers. The plan, backed by the council, faces a dispute over funding from the corporate fund for an alley drain and a merit-based approach. A death resolution for Chief Elmer Schnurstein was ordered to be presented to his widow.
