The Zion City Council on Oct. 1 approved its consent agenda and a series of motions that included payment of city bills, declaration of surplus public‑works equipment for auction, and a part‑time firefighter/paramedic pay‑on‑premise step adjustment.
Minutes and bills The council approved the minutes of the Sept. 17, 2024 regular meeting after a motion by Commissioner McDowell and a second by Commissioner Holmes. Council then approved payment of bills numbered 146825 through 146904, with the clerk reporting a total of $962,369.45.
Surplus vehicles and equipment Public Works presented a list of vehicles and equipment the fleet maintenance department deemed too costly to repair or no longer safe for operation. Staff recommended declaring the items surplus and scheduling them for auction, to be sold “as is” with minimum bids to be set by staff and the city manager; the motion to declare the equipment surplus passed on roll call.
Fire department pay‑step adjustment On behalf of the fire chief, Chief Barton asked council to approve a FY25 budgeted pay‑on‑premise step adjustment for part‑time firefighter/paramedics. The plan adds a step that increases hourly pay to $31 after an employee has worked 1,200 hours for the city. The council approved the adjustment (motion by McDowell, second by Holmes).
Adjournment The meeting adjourned after a motion by Commissioner Holmes and a second by Commissioner Fisher; the clerk recorded the roll and the mayor announced the motion carried.
