CENTREVILLE &045; At a meeting on June 13, Centreville aldermen voted 4-0 to approve a 5 percent pay raise for all town employees effective Oct. 1.

Alderman Mary West was absent from the meeting.

The board called an executive session at its regular meeting on June 3 to discuss &uot;pay raises and personnel matters,&uot; but Alderman Carl D’Aquila departed that session.

That left fellow board members John Moore and West without a quorum.

Aldermen Thomas Lobrano and Mary Sanders were absent from the June 3 meeting.

Mayor David Owens described the June 13 meeting as a recessed meeting for the purpose of completing business from the June 3 meeting.

&uot;We had some business leftover from our previous meeting that we needed to finish,&uot; Owens said.

The pay increase will apply to all full-time and part-time employees who have put in at least one year of service with the town.

However, it does not include the mayor and aldermen, Owens said.
