Woodruff board approves clerk pay increase and business licenses, accepts minutes and bills

The Woodruff Town Board approved several routine actions during its regular meeting. After discussion about hours and compensation, the board voted to increase the clerk’s pay by $500 per month. The clerk had said she was making $1,000 before taxes and described variable hours; board members discussed tracking hours and revisiting pay at year-end.

The board also approved two business licenses: one for Terry Knudson to teach and sell sewing/quilting items and another for Amanda Jessen’s Sunkissed tanning business (operating by appointment from a home). Motions authorizing both licenses were moved, seconded and carried.

For administrative items, the board accepted the December meeting minutes and approved the January bills after motions and seconds. The transcript records voice votes with "Aye" and that each motion "carries"; no detailed roll-call tallies were provided.

What the record shows: The motion to increase the clerk’s pay was made and seconded and the board voiced approval; the transcript includes a late clarification correcting a speaker’s earlier misspeaking about whether the $500 was 'hour' or 'month,' with 'month' recorded as the intended unit. No specific individual vote tallies or names of motion movers/seconders were recorded in the transcript; the actions below reflect outcomes reported during the meeting.
