WEIRTON – Weirton’s municipal employees will be receiving something extra this holiday season, following a special meeting of Weirton Council Tuesday night.
By a vote of 6-1, council agreed to provide all full-time city employees, including those who work for autonomous boards, a $1,000 “one-time salary adjustment.” Part-time employees will receive $500.
The resolution had been presented to the city’s Finance Committee during a special meeting Tuesday morning; however, Ward 3 Councilman Fred Marsh, who chairs the committee, explained there initially was little detail on the proposal and the committee felt the full council should hash it out.
“There were no numbers. The three of us felt it was out of our range,” Marsh said. “With all due respect, this was kind of a shotgun resolution.”
