City Council last night was split on a requested $1.48 per hour pay
raise requested by long-time city secretary Teresa Moody. They tabled
the proposal pending a performance review and the start-up of the

secretary seven years ago at $10 per hour, now makes $11.52 per hour
and had asked for a raise to $13 per hour. |
