Geneva employees to receive raises in 2013

Berne Tri-Weekly News:

The Geneva Town Council began with clerk treasurer Bill Warren commending the area law enforcement for the quick response to Friday afternoon’s storms and thanking the citizens for the quick clean up following the storm. During the monthly fire report, deputy fire chief Art Booth also commented on conditions during the storm.

“Friday night was chaos. But we did what we needed to do. We can thank God Almighty there were no fatalities,” said Booth.

The council approved several new ordinances during Tuesday evening’s meeting. Following the example of Berne and Decatur, they approved the first reading of Ordinance 2012-7 Salary Utilities and Ordinance 2012-8 Salary General which will give full time employees a one percent plus $400 raise in 2013 and will give part-time employees and council members a two percent raise.
