Shelby council gives administrator positive review.
SHELBY – The Shelby Village Council recently evaluated its administrator’s performance, giving Rob Widigan a score of 233 points out of 252, or a 92.5% rating in his first year. The council approved a 6% increase to Widigan’s salary, bringing it to $71,550; 96 vacation hours; and $70 a month for the use of his cell phone. The Council approved the motion with a roll call vote of 6-0, with Councilman Steve Crothers absent.
“Rob dedicates himself to collaborating and getting people to work together,” said Councilor John Sutton. “His experience, knowledge in budgeting, and contacts at the state level have helped move our village forward. You’ve set the bar high and did a good job in your first year, but now, even more is expected out of you going forward.”
The review took place in closed session, which is allowable by the Michigan Open Meetings Act.
The Village Council also brainstormed multiple goals during the goal-setting portion of the meeting. A few of the goals discussed were: finalizing the master plan; becoming Redevelopment Ready Community (RRC) Certified; seeing through the Getty Park grant application and making improvements to Getty Park; and focusing on capital improvements, such as roads and sidewalks, throughout the Village.
