College Corner council appoints two to fill vacancies, approves routine business and rescinds attorney-communication restriction
Summary
At its July 11 meeting the Village of College Corner council appointed Tom Caudill and Singleton to fill two open seats, approved multiple sets of minutes and bills, and voted to rescind a prior restriction limiting attorney communications to the fiscal officer and administrator.
The Village of College Corner council on July 11 appointed Tom Caudill and Singleton to fill two open council seats and handled several routine administrative matters, including approval of minutes and bills and a vote to rescind a prior restriction on attorney communications.
The council acted on a motion by Council member Danyell Bolser to appoint Tom Caudill and Singleton; Ann McCoy seconded and the motion passed 3–0. The newly appointed members are to take the oath of office before the next regular meeting, the council said.
The meeting included multiple routine approvals. The council approved the June 13 meeting minutes on a 2–1 vote, with Mike Ruther recorded as abstaining; it approved the June 25 special-meeting minutes on a 2–1 vote with the same abstention; the July 3 emergency-meeting minutes and the May bills were approved unanimously (3–0).
On attorney communications, Bolser moved to rescind earlier instructions that the village attorney communicate only with the fiscal officer and administrator. McCoy seconded and the motion passed 2–1, with Bolser and McCoy voting yes and Ruther voting no. Separately, during discussion of the attorney contract, Bolser asked to add a 30‑day notice provision for both parties; Mr. Ziepfel said he would add that language and send an updated contract.
Fiscal officer Molly Cason told council members that not all property belonging to the village has been returned; she read a list of items that were returned and said some items remain missing but did not provide an inventory total or dollar value. Cason also said the police contract renewal with BCSO is in process and that an update will be provided at the next meeting. She said job postings had been posted online and that interviews would begin the following week. On a separate matter, Cason said she was investigating reports that some residents had not received water bills but did not specify how many households were affected.
Council member Bolser offered that her husband would volunteer to mow the reservoir and village building a few times until a hire is made; the council agreed to that temporary arrangement. Cason also reported that JWCI has agreed to remain on board with the village, though she did not present further terms.
The council adjourned at 7:42 p.m. The next regular meeting is scheduled for August 8, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.
