Essex Council on Aging unanimously approves salary increases and event management framework. The council approved salary increases for two positions: the Outreach Coordinator salary rose to $29 per hour, at the maximum of the $23-29 wage range recently established by the town, and the Volunteer and Activities Coordinator salary increased to $25 per hour, in the middle of the new $22-27 range.
