Farmington clerk-treasurer to be paid for volunteering

A question over volunteer hours was quickly resolved at the Farmington City Council meeting Monday night.

Clerk treasurer Barbara Dial-Flomer and Mayor Ron Dugan

At issue was how to address 165 hours in what was thought to be volunteer time by city Clerk-Treasurer Barbara Dial-Flomer since last year.

In April 2012, when Mayor Ron Dugan took office, Dial-Flomer was putting in an extra five hours per week as volunteer time at the 30-hour-per-week job. She continued the practice under the direction of Dugan and in July of last year, she signed a general volunteer agreement with the city.

This yea...
