Milford council adopts pay changes, budget amendment and several administrative measures; pool roof contract awarded
Summary
At its Sept. 16 meeting the Milford City Council unanimously adopted a salary resolution and a budget amendment, approved a pool roof and bat-remediation contract, authorized vehicle actions and approved a permanent water change application; several administrative and procedural items were also acted on.
Milford City Council voted on a slate of administrative and budget items at its Sept. 16 regular meeting, approving changes to employee pay and the operating budget, awarding a contract for pool roof replacement and bat remediation, and taking a series of equipment and property actions.
The council adopted Resolution 12-2025, adjusting compensation for fiscal year 2025–26, and then adopted Resolution 13-2025, amending the FY2025–26 operating budget to cover employee compensation changes and higher-than-expected tree-maintenance bids. Both resolutions passed on roll call votes with all councilmembers recorded as voting yes.
The council also approved a contract from Tesher Contracting to replace the municipal swimming pool roof and perform bat-remediation work at a total bid price of $129,700. The company’s proposal included a 20-year weather-tightness warranty and two-year workmanship warranty; the bid listed a standing-seam metal roof item priced at $48,000 and other demolition, insulation, electrical and cleanup line items.
Other actions approved during the meeting included: - Conversion of a temporary water relocation for the Williams family (Larry Carter farmland) into a permanent change application under the city’s existing 20-year water agreement. The council directed staff to proceed with the permanent filing. (Motion recorded and approved.) - Purchase of a 2003 Nissan pickup for airport use (approximately $4,295); the council approved the purchase, and a councilmember recorded a lone opposing vote, producing a 4–1 outcome that was entered into the minutes. - Declaration of a 1989 Dodge (airport) as surplus with a minimum bid set at $100; motion passed. - Authorization to prepare deeds conveying approximately 27 feet of city-owned property on Library Hill to adjacent property owners; council directed staff to prepare deeds for consideration at the next meeting. - Direction to notify property owners that have encroached on the alley between 600 West and 700 West to remove improvements by Oct. 31; council authorized staff to send certified/registered notices and to proceed with grading the alley after survey work is complete. - Motion to table further action on the IOOF cemetery plots until additional information can be gathered; the council voted to table the discussion. - Adoption of the city’s new cybersecurity policy for municipal systems.
Several consent and procedural items were approved early in the meeting, including the August financial report, bills, payroll and minutes from the Aug. 19 regular meeting.
The meeting minutes show council direction for staff to implement the approved actions and to return with documentation where appropriate (deeds, permanent water filing, contract documents). The pool project will be scheduled with the awarded contractor and financed from capital-improvement and reserve funds as discussed by staff and council.
Council members and staff said the items were largely routine, though the pool bat-remediation and the budget amendment were noted as time-sensitive.
