Summary
At its Aug. 19 meeting, the Caro City Council hired Marlette Roofing to replace the City Hall roof for $79,695, approved a $60,821 repair at Well No. 7 and moved two maturing certificates of deposit to higher‑yield accounts; motions carried and ancillary committee reports and community updates were presented.
The Caro City Council on Aug. 19 approved a series of capital and treasury actions, including awarding a $79,695 contract to Marlette Roofing to repair and replace the City Hall roof and accepting a $60,821 quote from Peerless Midwest to replace the variable frequency drive at Well No. 7.
Mayor Karen Snider called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and the council moved quickly through routine business before taking the major actions. The council also approved two investment moves: shifting a maturing certificate of deposit from Independent Bank to Frankenmuth Credit Union for an 11‑month term at 4.75%, and moving a CDAR from Independent Bank to Northstar Bank for a 26‑week term at 4.40%.
The roof contract (Motion 24‑M‑200), moved by Councilor Pamela Iseler and seconded by Jill White, authorizes the city manager to sign all documents necessary to complete the project. The well repair (Motion 24‑M‑201), moved by White and seconded by Charlotte Kish, directs the treasurer to make the necessary budget adjustment in the water fund to cover the $60,821 repair.
Treasury motions included Motion 24‑M‑202, moved by Gregory Hutchison and seconded by Doreen Oedy, to move the maturing CD to Frankenmuth Credit Union at 4.75% for 11 months, and Motion 24‑M‑203, moved by Kish and seconded by Emily Campbell, to move a CDAR to Northstar Bank for a 26‑week term at 4.40%.
All motions carried according to the meeting record. The minutes and motions do not include a roll‑call vote tally in the transcript provided; the minutes note only "Motion carried." The council approved the consent agenda (Motion 24‑M‑199) earlier in the meeting, which included the Aug. 5 regular meeting minutes, invoices and department reports.
Beyond the formal actions, DDA Director Lauren Amellal introduced the downtown development authority website to the council during public comment, and Chief Brian Newcomb told the council the police department received the highest marks in the most recent MCOLES audit. Parks & Recreation announced a pavilion dedication at Northwood Heights Park scheduled for Aug. 21 at 4:00 p.m. The council set a Policy Committee meeting for Aug. 26 at 5:00 p.m. for follow‑up work on policy items.
