MIDDLETOWN — The Middletown Town Council approved an emergency hire during its July 1 meeting, voting 5-0 to bring in LGS at a rate of $165 per hour to cover town-office duties after an employee was reported unable to perform their work.
Dave Wagner declared an emergency in the office, saying Tim Mundell was unable to perform his work duties and asking the council to authorize outside help. Council member Dan Fountain moved to hire LGS; Gary Kendall seconded the motion. The motion passed 5-0.
The motion as recorded in the meeting minutes did not specify the duration of the contract or additional terms beyond the hourly rate. Council members did not provide a public timeline for the temporary help before the vote. The minutes do not state an official title for Tim Mundell or detail whether a formal personnel report or written complaint will be filed.
Action taken: the council approved the hire by unanimous vote. The minutes list no follow-up report date; the town did not specify who will supervise LGS while the temporary assignment is in effect.
The council handled the hiring under the meeting’s business agenda and then moved on to other operational items.
