The Altoona City Planning Commission voted to restore full wages for planning staff effective immediately, Speaker 1 announced at the start of the meeting. "I am going to ask for a motion to restore to full, the wages for staff to be, in effect immediately to full compensation," Speaker 1 said.
The motion was moved and seconded by Speaker 3 and passed after a voice vote. Speaker 1 stated, "Hearing no nays, motion passes." Commissioners later clarified that the action applied to staff wages rather than staffing levels and confirmed payroll logistics would follow to implement full compensation promptly.
Commissioners thanked staff for their patience during the period of reduced pay. In the commissioners' forum, Speaker 3 said the board appreciated employees' continued service through a difficult period; Speaker 1 added thanks directly to staff. The commission noted some employees had received partial payments (planning pay) while other pay sources (referred to as "UC" in the meeting) had not arrived on schedule.
The vote closed a brief but urgent agenda item raised early in the meeting after the chair said minutes from Oct. 30 were not available to execute. The commission indicated the pay restoration is in effect immediately and will be reflected in upcoming payroll processing.
