Elyria overtime debate asks for straight time assurance
The Elyria approach to overtime is questioned as a city considers paying $71,417 to a single truck and heavy equipment mechanic in 1995 while base pay was $28,246. Public Works Director Tim Coey defends overtime as sometimes necessary, but acknowledges two mechanics on straight time would cost about $60,000. He plans to request funds to hire another mechanic. The piece argues for straight time unless urgent needs justify overtime, noting morale and productivity risks from long hours.
