Just seconds from being approved, an ordinance on Columbia City employee wages, benefits, holidays and vacations reached a snag â the dug-in heels of Councilman Walt Crowder.
The ordinance established new wage ranges for all city employees, with standard hourly rates for each position or job and a range of bottom to top, depending on seniority.
But it was one item on the final page regarding benefits, that created a lift in Crowderâs eyebrow.
At the monthly meeting of the 4-H Inc. board of directors, Bill Leeuw, board president, reported the track wall has been reworked by Superior Excavating, the dirt moved and smoothed by Wigent Excavating and the area has been seeded.
Matt Gibson of 4-H council spoke on behalf of the Beef Club, reporting the organizers of the Beef Show held last weekend at the fairgrounds, Tri State Polled Hereford Club, were very pleased with the facilities and the turnout.
Aaron McDevitt, 4-H Inc. board livestock director said, âI canât tell you how much the people enjoy this fairgrounds.â
