Council received a first reading of Ordinance O29‑2025, described as repealing Ordinance O55‑2024 and establishing salaries/wage scales for certain temporary, seasonal and part‑time city employees to correspond to the upcoming Ohio minimum‑wage law.

Personnel committee chair Mrs. Snead told the council the committee met Nov. 10 and recommended preparing legislation effective Jan. 1, 2026, to amend hourly rates (including the position of swimming pool manager) to reflect the minimum‑wage adjustment to $11 per hour; the ordinance was read for first reading and will return for later action.

No final vote occurred at the Nov. 17 meeting; the text was presented for first reading and will be carried to the next meeting because the council could not suspend rules with three members excused.
