Employees of the Vincennes Water Utilities will have a little more “green” in their wallets starting next year.
The City’s Utilities Services Board on Wednesday approved a 3-percent pay raise for employees beginning in 2017.
In other business, Board members approved an agreement to re-pay the Knox County Development Corporation.
K-C-D-C fronted the cost of extending sanitary sewer lines to the new Farbest Foods plant in the Vincennes Industrial Park.
Water Utility Manager Kirk Bouchie says the U-S-B will pay off the 2-point-5 million dollar loan with revenue generated off of the Farbest Account.
Finally, the U-S-B presented outgoing board member Al Nardine a plaque in recognition of his years of service on the board.
Vincennes Mayor Joe Yochum has not yet selected anyone to replace Nardine on the U-S-B.
