Century Names New Gas Superintendent, Gives A Few Employee Raises

March 21, 2017

The Century Town Council voted Monday night promote an employee from within as their new gas superintendent and also handed out a few employee raises.

The council promoted Kim Godwin, former deputy town clerk, to gas department superintendent to replace an employee that recently stepped down from the responsibilities.  The council also increased her salary by $5 per hour to $18.26 to cover her new responsibilities as gas superintendent plus upcoming work on the town’s stagnant website.

The council also voted to provide $2,930 for Godwin to attend two upcoming educational workshops. The funds were already budgeted for gas department operating supplies.

Godwin has been employed by the town since May 2012.

Also Monday night, the council voted to increase the salary of a window clerk from $8.21 to $9.50 per hour and an administrative assistant from $9.68 to $10.50. Both employees have taken on additional responsibilities to justify their pay increases, according to Mayor Henry Hawkins.

    The employees in the office at Town hall or the most polite ladies you will ever run across. You hear the smile on their face over the phone and feel “hugged” after you talk with them. They seem genuinely sincere and hardworking.

    As far as the new wastewater superintendent, she seems on top of the ball, calling it like she sees it–get er done..Girl power!!

    I am not sure about all the guys, well Joe Brown was great above and beyond, but others, I question, how can you weed eat around a car bumper and trash, ride by and leave a grocery cart on site, not report abandoned buildings and notice broken signs and such as you are out maintaining the “outside” tighten up or a girl may come take your place!!

    Congratulations Kim you deserve it,although the town won’t pay the men in the field what they deserve at least you are now getting what you deserve. Maybe all the women should move to the field and the men should move to the city hall and the council will give everyone a raise
