Scottsburg City board approves stop sign in Moonglow, updates employee policy and renews disaster‑recovery contract
Summary
At its April meeting the Scottsburg City Board of Works and Public Safety approved a stop sign at Lunar Street and Graham Boulevard (Resolution 2026‑R5), adopted an amended substance‑abuse policy (2026‑R6), and authorized a three‑year renewal with Pola for disaster‑recovery backups at the same monthly rate.
The Scottsburg City Board of Works and Public Safety on April 1 approved a series of routine yet consequential administrative actions, including a traffic control measure in the Moonglow subdivision, a housekeeping update to the employee handbook’s substance‑abuse policy, and a three‑year renewal for the city’s disaster‑recovery backups.
Police Chief said the stop sign at the intersection of Lunar Street and Graham Boulevard is needed because of recent development in the back section of the Moonglow subdivision and could be the first of several traffic‑control installations in that neighborhood. The board adopted Resolution 2026‑R5 to authorize the installation; the motion passed by unanimous voice vote.
McKill, who presented the personnel item, told members the amended substance‑abuse policy in Resolution 2026‑R6 was edited only to align language with the updated city employee handbook and does not introduce changes beyond those already approved in the handbook. The board approved R6 by unanimous voice vote.
Stacy introduced a late agenda item asking the board to renew the city’s disaster‑recovery and server‑backup agreement with Pola for another three years at the same monthly fee as the prior contract. She said the city will schedule a full mock recovery exercise, targeted for July or August, to verify restore procedures before the contract renewal and related cybersecurity updates. Members confirmed the monthly fee is $4,000 for 36 months and authorized the mayor to sign the renewal digitally; the motion passed unanimously.
Other routine approvals included a waiver allowing the Youth Grantmaking Council to use the train depot for interviews on April 12, authorization for the electric department to remove and sell scrap materials with proceeds returning to the selling department, and approval of claims presented at the meeting. All motions were adopted by voice vote.
Announcements: Emily said the city’s first Easter egg hunt will be held at Beachwood Park on Sunday from 1 to 2 p.m., limited to 100 children with age groups separated, and that City Hall utility offices will be closed April 1 from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. She also confirmed that the monthly Free Friday event will be moved to April 10 because of Good Friday.
The board moved to adjourn after completing the listed items.
