BERLIN — The Berlin City Council voted unanimously Monday evening to provide stipends to Interim City Manager Pam Laflamme and Finance Director Holly Larsen for extra duties they have performed following the resignation of City Manager Jim Wheeler in December of 2021.

Following a brief discussion, the council approved a $15,000 stipend for Laflamme and a $5,000 stipend for Larsen for the extra work they were required to perform for the last several months, up to and including the next couple of months before the new city manager takes the post in May. Due to Wheeler leaving his post, both Laflamme and Larsen were required to take on additional duties that would normally have been handled by a full-time city manager.
