For the period of July – December 2025, the Interim Flea Market Coordinator’s salary was higher than originally budgeted last winter (2025) for the 2025-2026 fiscal year due to them being an internal transfer at a higher Step on the salary scale. Additionally, a 3% COLA (Cost of Living Adjustment) was approved by the Board in fall 2025 that was applied retroactively to all salaried employees effective July 2025 which also increased the budget required.
