Three individuals had merit pay increases approved during Tuesday afternoon’s brief meeting of the Bluffton Board of Public Works and Safety.
The increases were Tony Fey, supervisor of the city’s wastewater treatment plant, who received a $1-an-hour raise above his current $31.75 pay rate; Kim Okey of the Bluffton Utilities office, who received a $1-an-hour raise above her current $24.72 pay rate; and Mike Gillespie of the sewer collections department, who also received a $1-an-hour raise above his current $22.48 pay rate.
The board also approved and sent on a $121,385.25 pay application from Inliner Solutions of Orleans, Ind., for the company’s work on the city’s wastewater network. The pay application will be sent on to the State Revolving Loan Fund.
All three Board of Works members — Mayor John Whicker, Scott Mentzer, and Josh Hunt — were present for Tuesday’s meeting.
