Administrative updates: locks, street mower, hiring and quick votes at Fielding meeting
Summary

During department and administrative reports the council discussed rekeying exterior doors after a lost master key was reported.

Council discussed paying the seasonal worker $15 per hour and tracking hours for payroll.
