Votes at a glance: Saint Charles council approves paid-leave poster, event permits and a bank-account move
Summary
Council approved a resolution adopting an employee poster under the Paid Medical Leave Act and approved several park/event permits and a banking change during a budget workshop, with roll-call votes recorded for the poster and bank account moves.
The Village of Saint Charles council voted on multiple administrative items at a budget workshop: a resolution to adopt an employee poster under the Paid Medical Leave Act, special-event approvals for Hometown Days and other park events (including food trucks), and a motion to close a Village savings account at Mercantile Bank and open a money‑market account.
Resolution adopting paid-leave poster: Council voted to adopt the employee poster notice under the Paid Medical Leave Act (PA 338 of 2018). The motion was made during the workshop and approved by roll call. Recorded votes in the transcript show Councilmember Jamie Kendall, Councilmember Michael Nesbitt, Councilmember Edgar Tidoff, Councilmember Cathy Harris, Councilmember Darcy McSwain and Councilmember Jennifer Rosser Nesbitt voting in favor; Councilmember Paul Jenderski was absent. The motion adopted the required poster notice and directed staff to post the notice in English and Spanish at DPW, public-safety facilities and the village office; the manager said the Spanish poster was still being updated.
Parks and events: Council accepted a special-event permit application for Saint Charles Hometown Days, which the parks committee recommended the council approve for this trial year at the pavilion (the parks committee recommended evaluating the event’s impact before approving an expanded footprint in subsequent years). The council also approved a request to allow food trucks for a first-annual fishing tournament organized by Jim Botts, and approved the Saginaw County Health Department’s request to hold the Be Well Saginaw community walk on June 26 with up to two food trucks in the parking lot. These event approvals were taken in public meeting with council support; the transcript records voice votes rather than a roll-call tally for those items.
Banking change: Council authorized closing a savings account at Mercantile Bank and opening a money‑market account at Mercantile to move village funds to a higher interest-bearing account. A roll call recorded the same six councilmembers voting yes and one absent councilmember; the manager said the money market rate would increase from 0.1% to about 4.4%.
