Council approves minutes and bills; hears winter operations and water-meter updates
Summary
At its meeting the council approved corrected minutes and the bills list, congratulated maintenance staff on snow response, reported spreaders ordered and water-meter outages, and set the town tree-lighting for tomorrow at 6 p.m.
The town council approved corrections to the November 20 study-session minutes, voted to pay the bills, and heard several operational updates from staff.
During approval of the minutes members reconstructed an earlier suspension-of-rules vote that was not recorded in the minutes; participants said the suspension vote existed but had not been entered into the official record. A motion to approve the corrected minutes passed after Mr. Jones moved and Norris seconded.
The council then moved to pay the town's bills; Mr. Jones moved the bill-payment motion and Mr. Ross seconded. The motion passed on a voice vote.
Under announcements and reports, the council congratulated the maintenance crew for snow response despite limited equipment. Staff reported that salt spreaders have been ordered and are expected to ship next week, with installation taking about 8 to 10 hours. One plow truck is experiencing an electrical issue (a suspected solenoid failure). Staff also reported that 84 water meters are not reporting and 46 additional meters have other issues; no remedy timetable was provided in the record.
The parks board reminded the council that the town tree-lighting is scheduled for tomorrow at 6:00 p.m.; the presiding officer and others noted scheduling conflicts but encouraged attendance.
The meeting adjourned after a motion and second.
