North Judson Town Council members met a few different times this week to discuss next year’s salary ordinance.
According to Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe, members initially met in a special session on Wednesday to address any matters that needed to be taken care of prior to the end of the year.
Members reviewed the 2019 Salary Ordinance line by line and were expected to adopt it during that meeting. However, since some adjustments had to be made to the language surrounding longevity pay, an emergency session was held the next day in order to reconsider the ordinance with the language changes.
Clerk-Treasurer Rowe said other than the adjusted verbiage the only other major difference was an approximate three percent raise that was applied across the board. He noted that there were some employees who received an even increase rather than one based on a percentage.
With the necessary changes made, members adopted the 2019 Salary Ordinance during Thursday morning’s emergency session.
