Summary
Council approved October pay allowance ($144,764.97), claims totaling $303,388.19 (4-1), equipment and repair quotes including a $7,782.16 pump repair and $12,312 paving invoice, and a $3,000 transfer from the Insurance Fund to the Park Utility Fund.
At its Nov. 4 meeting the Paoli Town Council approved a series of financial actions: the October pay allowance for $144,764.97 passed unanimously, claims totaling $303,388.19 were approved 4-1 with Donna Dillard voting no, and the council approved several equipment and repair quotes.
Utility General Foreman Mike Compton presented a $2,650 quote from Browntown Electric for a 1,000‑foot spool of triplex cable and a $7,782.16 quote from Straeffer Pump and Supply Inc. to repair a sewer‑plant pump; the repair includes a 90‑day warranty while a replacement pump with a one‑year warranty would cost about $30,000. The council approved both expenditures 5-0. The council also approved a $12,312 invoice from Temple & Temple for additional milling and paving on NW First Street to match recent Campbell Street work; the cost will be paid from the town’s LOIT Special Distribution Fund.
Park Director David Grimes reported the park system was winterized and requested a $3,000 transfer from the Insurance Fund to the Park Utility Fund; the council approved the transfer 5-0. The minutes note 13 dumpsters were filled during the townwide fall cleanup.
The claims vote recorded one dissent: Donna Dillard voted against approving $303,388.19 in claims. The council also asked Compton to obtain quotes for a replacement street buster after the town’s unit became unavailable. Approved motions include the pay allowance, the claims, the purchase and repair quotes, the Temple & Temple invoice and the insurance‑to‑park transfer.
