Council approves pay increases, CIC funding set-aside and awards local street project; appoints acting law director
Summary
At its Feb. 23 meeting, council approved pay increases for the law and finance directors (one 'no' vote on the law director increase), voted to set aside $10,000 for the Community Improvement Corporation, awarded the North Perry/Railroad Street improvement contract, and appointed Tony Johnson as acting law director following an executive session.
Napoleon City Council conducted several formal actions during its Feb. 23 meeting, including personnel and procurement votes.
Personnel pay ordinances: On third reading council authorized a 3.5% pay increase for the city law director and for the finance director. The roll call for the law director increase recorded one "no" vote; the finance director increase passed on the same procedural basis.
Community Improvement Corporation funding: Council voted to set aside $10,000 to support the Community Improvement Corporation's downtown economic development efforts and agreed staff will return with program guidelines and a funding mechanism (likely via the economic development fund) for council approval.
Public-works contract award: Following a bid opening, the council awarded the North Perry Street and Railroad Street improvement project to Mullenbrink Excavating LLC in the amount of $747,091.72; the city engineer/staff reported bids and recommended award after bid review.
Personnel appointment: After an executive session to consider the appointment or employment of a public official, council appointed Tony Johnson as acting law director effective Feb. 25; the appointment was approved by roll call.
Other routine business included approval of minutes, a power-supply cost adjustment factor for February 2026, and moving a land-sale resolution to third reading. No contested votes or formal challenges were recorded in the transcript beyond the single dissent on the law director pay increase.
