Henry Clay board keeps employee wages, lists hourly rates and sets supervisors’ pay

During reorganizational business the board considered employee wages and moved to keep the FY2025 wage at $20.25 per hour. The presiding officer stated: "So we're at the $20.25 fiscal rate for the employees." A roll/voice vote was taken and the Chair announced the motion carried.

A staff speaker read individual hourly rates for part-time drivers and laborers: Dan Bird — $20/hour; Eric Collins — $23.50/hour; Chad Savage — $17/hour; Marty Huber — $20/hour; Nathan Kohlmeier — $22/hour; Glenn Uphold — $20/hour; and the staff speaker stated their own rate as $19/hour. Supervisors requested an hourly breakdown for every employee and paused briefly to confirm figures.

Separately, the board voted to keep supervisor wages the same “at the 2025 fiscal year rate” and moved to set auditors’ recommended wages equal to the highest-paid supervisor. The board directed staff to confirm the full breakdown of hourly rates for record-keeping and transparency.
