St. Joseph County Road Commission Manager John Lindsey received a positive review and contract extension in the wake of his annual job-performance evaluation last week.
Following a closed session at the conclusion of their twice-a-month meeting Wednesday, road commission board members said Lindsey was offered and accepted a two-year contract extension.
It expires at the end of 2026 and will likely be the final contract for Lindsey, who is 63 and suggested retirement sooner than later is not a far-fetched idea. In the meantime, however, Lindsey said he plans to continue moving the Centreville-based agency toward what he called the right direction.
Lindsey, a Bronson-area resident, joined the St. Joseph County Road Commission in 2010. He became manager eight years later.
His current salary is $124,000. He was not issued a raise as a result of his evaluation. Lindsey will, however, receive a 3 percent raise – matching an identical pay increase the road commission’s union employees are due – in June.
The road commission has a staff of 35 employees.
Eric Shafer, board chairman, described Lindsey’s evaluation as “very favorable.”
