Beecher board approves meeting-date change, bills and an ordinance; moves to executive session
Summary
At its Sept. 22 meeting the Beecher Village Board voted to move the next regular meeting, approved bills, passed an ordinance to add an adjudication-clerk position to the municipal code and adjourned to executive session to discuss personnel.
The Beecher Village Board on Sept. 22 took several administrative actions during its meeting.
The board voted unanimously to move the next regular meeting from the scheduled date to Oct. 14. The motion passed on a roll call with all trustees recorded as voting yes.
Trustee Krauss moved approval of bills, noting an adjusted balance of $75,968.30 after removing one police-department bill. The motion to approve the bills passed by unanimous roll call.
Trustee Carey brought an ordinance to amend the Village Peace Municipal Code by adding the position of adjudication clerk and amending sections 9.9-13-6 and 9-14-2. The ordinance motion was moved and seconded and passed on roll call with all members recorded as voting yes.
Before a planned executive session, trustees discussed a police-hiring timing question raised during the bills discussion. Trustees and staff said the village had an internal candidate for a police vacancy but that commission or posting rules require a formal process; trustees estimated the delay to full hire could cause approximately $15,000 in overtime costs while the vacancy remains open. The board voted to adjourn to executive session to discuss personnel matters; the motion passed on unanimous roll call.
