Worthington Hills commission holds first reading of commissioners�salary ordinance

The City of Worthington Hills Commission on Jan. 20 conducted the first reading of Ordinance #1 Series 2026, a measure that would set the commissioners' salaries effective Jan. 1, 2027. Mayor Robert Stonum introduced the ordinance and indicated a second reading could occur at the February meeting.

Commissioners also voted unanimously to keep current commissioner job assignments and to retain Commissioner Dennis Metcalf as mayor pro-tem. Those housekeeping motions were made and passed during the same portion of the meeting where the ordinance was read.

The first reading does not enact the salary changes; the ordinance would require a second reading and final adoption before taking effect on the date listed in the measure. Commissioners did not vote on final adoption at the Jan. 20 meeting.

The commission adjourned at 7:19 p.m.; the second reading of Ordinance #1 Series 2026 was described by the mayor as a possible item for the February meeting.
