Summary
Council approved the consent calendar unanimously and adopted a salary‑scale amendment to add a clerical recreation aid classification; a congressional field representative announced Congressman Duarte’s support for HR 549 and introduced district staff. Council also discussed appointing League of California Cities voting delegates.
At its meeting, the Chowchilla City Council approved the consent calendar and adopted several routine items, including a revision to the 2024–25 salary schedule to add a clerical recreation aid classification and authorizing staff to post vacancies for advisory bodies.
Stacy Weisenard, speaking for staff, presented the salary‑scale amendment and said the position was already budgeted in Finance and the bargaining units had approved the job description and pay scale. The council moved and approved the resolution by roll call.
During public comment, Kyle Savage, Congressman John Duarte’s field representative for Madera and Fresno counties, introduced the congressman’s district staff and read a statement endorsing HR 549, a proposal to eliminate certain waiting periods for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Medicare for advanced breast cancer patients. Savage said the bill would eliminate the five‑month SSDI waiting period and the 24‑month Medicare waiting period for eligible patients.
Council also discussed appointment of voting delegates for the League of California Cities business meeting at the annual conference in Long Beach; staff noted the two council members attending were Mister Chavez and Mister Trost and the council determined which would serve as primary and alternate delegates.
Other routine reports included summer event wrap‑ups, school breakfasts, Measure and Oversight reporting and public safety staffing and volunteer activity.
