Hamilton City Council approves election rules, police drone, rehiring and Sportsplex fence
Summary
Hamilton City Council approved a package of personnel, equipment and infrastructure measures — including a police drone funded by opioid-settlement dollars, the rehiring of a certified water-treatment operator and a Sportsplex fence contract — and adopted election rules for the upcoming municipal contest.
Hamilton City Council approved a set of routine personnel, equipment and infrastructure items and adopted election-related rules during a regular meeting.
Council actions included rehiring a certified water treatment operator at a set hourly rate, authorizing the police department to purchase a DJI Outris 4 t unmanned aerial device using opioid-settlement funds, approving a laptop purchase for the court magistrate, renewing a $1,000 donation to the domestic-violence task force, adopting an ordinance that sets the number of council places for the upcoming municipal election, and adopting a resolution to continue use of DS200 electronic vote-counting machines.
