Chesterton Town Council to discuss town manager salary Monday

How will the Town of Chesterton pay for a town manager, should the Town Council opt to advertise the position?

The council will try to find an answer to that pressing question at a special meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday at the town hall.

Members have already reserved the salary of former Town Economic Development Coordinator Dwayne Williams—approximately $45,000 in CEDIT funds—but given a proposed range of $50,000 to $80,000 for a town manager could need to find as much as $35,000 in additional moneys.

That special meeting will precede the council’s regularly scheduled meeting at 7 p.m. An agenda for that meeting lists no new or old business of note.

The public is welcome to attend with its questions and comments.
