The Hamlet town council amended their 2023 budget during their meeting last week.
Council President Dave Kesvormas stated with the street department not having a full time staff, Street Superintendent Kevin Leinbach has stepped up and worked longer hours. He added the town should amend Superintendent Leinbach’s salary for 2023 to account for the added work load.
The council entertained a motion to amend the Street Superintendent’s salary to $49,221. The motion was seconded and was approved unanimously by vote.
