Votes at a glance: council approves minutes, $40,000 transfer and mayor authorization for Fire Station 3 agreement
Summary
At its Sept. 3 meeting, the council approved the March 18 minutes, authorized a $40,000 transfer from salaries to wages for a temporary administrative hire, and authorized the mayor to sign an agreement for a Fire Station 3 addition (all by voice vote, 3–0).
The Chair opened the meeting and the council dispensed with the reading of the March 18 minutes; the motion to approve the minutes as distributed carried by voice vote, 3–0.
On new business, the council approved a budget amendment transferring $40,000 from salaries to wages to allow hiring a part‑time administrative assistant while the full‑time vacancy is filled. A committee member said the transfer would "allow us to hire part time until we can fill our full time administrative assistant position," and noted a candidate, "Miss Karen," had expressed interest in serving temporarily. The temporary arrangement discussed included a 90‑day limit. The motion to approve the transfer was moved by Miss Smith, seconded by Mister Waltney, and passed by voice vote, 3–0.
The council also considered a proposed agreement authorizing the mayor to sign for a Fire Station 3 addition. Staff said the project is budgeted and that the mayor "agreed to split it between this budget and next year's budget." Council members said the design phase will proceed with the architect and then go to bid; a bid opening date of 11/02/2024 was mentioned. The motion to authorize the mayor to sign the agreement, pending Mister Kendrick's review, was moved by Missus Smith, seconded by Mister Gualani, and approved by voice vote, 3–0.
No further action was taken at the meeting, and the Chair adjourned.
