Corbin OKs $40K for city employees

By Becky Manley / Staff Writer

Corbin’s city commissioners voted to spend $40,000 for cost of living adjustments for city employees.

The unanimous vote came during a special meeting Wednesday at the Corbin City Government Center.

The vote came after Commissioner Phil Gregory suggested commissioners give each city employee a one-time cost of living adjustment of at least $300.

Gregory said the extra money would help city employees since they didn’t receive raises this year.

After further discussion, during which Commissioner Joe Shelton mentioned an adjustment of $400, commissioners approved that higher amount for the 2009 cost of living adjustment.

In 2008, city employees each received an adjustment of $200.

After the meeting, Corbin City Clerk Erin Blount said she hoped to issue the checks to city employees that day.
