The Elnora Town Board hit a standstill during the November meeting about the salary ordinance for 2023. Jerry Beck presented a schedule that includes raises for most categories, including volunteer firefighters. The problem is that council members who would benefit from this proposal must abstain from voting, so a vote in this case would be impossible. This issue does come up regularly for the annual budget meeting; the solution is to send the bid off to the county council. Jerry Beck and Susan Carpenter agreed to obtain advice on the fire department issue, but they moved to adopt the proposed salary schedule minus the fire department issue.
