Highfill OKs additional bonuses for employees, increase in trash rates | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

HIGHFILL -- City employees are receiving additional year-end bonuses on top of extra pay approved last month.

The Highfill City Council approved at its November meeting year-end bonuses of $1,000 for full-time employees and department heads, $500 for part-time employees and $250 for the city's recorder/treasurer.

During that same meeting, Mayor Chris Holland said the city was ending the year with a surplus of $74,000.

Jack Loyd, a council member, suggested doubling the bonuses since there was a large surplus.

However, Council Member Shai Idelman requested the issue be brought up at the year-end budget meeting to ensure the council had a full picture of the budget before deciding to increase the bonus amounts.

The year-end meeting was held Dec.
