Saint Marys council approves records disposition, authorizes 2025 agreements and ratifies non‑uniform tentative contract

The Saint Marys City Council adopted three items during the meeting: Resolution 25-03 (disposition of city records), Resolution 25-04 (authorizing the mayor and city manager to sign agreements for 2025) and ratified a tentative agreement with the non‑uniform union.

Resolution 25-03 addressed disposition of city records identified in the packet, described in the meeting as sanitary sewer records from 2015–2018 and maintenance agreements from 1995–2018 at the request of the street department. Councilmember Tony moved to adopt Resolution 25-03; Councilmember Ned seconded. The chair called for the question and the ayes prevailed.

Resolution 25-04 authorizes the mayor and manager to execute agreements for the year 2025. Jerry moved the resolution and Shane seconded. The council approved the resolution on a voice vote.

Councilmembers then considered a tentative agreement between the city and the non‑uniform union. The manager described the tentative agreement as reducing the total amount of sick time an employee may accumulate and setting an agreed-upon annual wage increase; he told council the change does not affect the 2025 budget. Councilmember Shane moved to approve the tentative agreement; Councilmember Tony seconded. The council approved the motion on a voice vote.

Votes were recorded on the record as voice votes. The transcript does not list individual roll-call vote tallies in the minutes read aloud; the motions were announced with mover and seconder and each was approved by the chair’s call for ayes.

The council adjourned following routine comments and scheduling the next meeting for Monday, March 17 at 7 p.m.
