Councilman Warthen stated that when they were doing the town budgets in August or September they had looked at the advertised budgets and all the salaries, instead of snaking a decision at the time, they would set the salary ordinance at this time. When doing the budgets they looked at the salaries in each department and for the last four ye~~rs they have gone with a set amount across the board thinking that it was fairest for the lower paid employees. In budgeting they figured the salaries at either three percent or $1,000.00 across the board as done in the past. He passed out the figures for the 2004 salaries. They had. talked with I,es Farmer, Fire Chief, about raising the reserve. and casual firemen salaries, so that the salaries would be in compliance with the surrounding area fire departments and other departments. 1-1e felt the fairest incentive was to have an across the board pay inezease of $1,000.00 for full time employees and the reserve and causal firefighters brought up to proposed pay scale. Councilman Bryant asked it the reserve at~d casual would go from $6.50 to $7.50 per hour and Mr. Warthen said that was correct, with the other incentives- Mr. Bryant asked with the incentives what would the average increase be for the reserve and causal firefighter`? Mr. Fanner said the last time he figured it the average :firefighter was getting $8.:35 per hour now and with the incentives and pay increase it will be around $9.25 to $9.75 leer hour. It will depend on the level of certification and it can vary- Motion was made by Councilman Clark, second by Councilman Warthen, to approve the Salary Ordinance for increase of $1,000.00 for full time employees and .3% for part time employees.
