Council records first readings on salt bid—price up 23%—and employee handbook changes on CDL and parental sick leave
Summary
On Oct. 9, 2023, Administrator Richter reported a lone water-plant salt bid of $178/ton from Artesian of Pioneer, a 23% increase over $145/ton; Council also discussed paying initial CDL training costs with a three-year payback requirement and held first reading of an employee handbook amendment.
Village Administrator Richter told the council that a water plant salt bid opening on Oct. 4 produced a single bid from Artesian of Pioneer at $178 per ton, representing a 23% increase from the current $145/ton price. Council recorded the First Reading of Resolution 2023-10-14 to accept the bid; the transcript records the bid amount and bidder but shows only the first reading at this meeting.
Council also discussed a personnel policy on commercial driver licenses. The village will pay for an employee's first attempt to obtain a CDL; if the employee leaves within three years of obtaining the license, the employee is required to reimburse the village for the course cost. Council additionally defined sick-leave use for the birth of a child and recorded the First Reading of Ordinance 2023-10-21 to amend the employee handbook.
The items were presented as first readings; the transcript does not record final votes on the salt purchase resolution or the employee handbook changes at this meeting. Further readings or formal adoption would be required for either to take effect.
