Pinckneyville Council approves routine financial and personnel items, OKs emergency sewer repair
Summary
At its Nov. 25 meeting the Pinckneyville City Council approved previous minutes, the treasurer’s report, accounts payable (including three added invoices totaling $9,974.58), an $11,792.86 emergency sewer repair, two insurance resolutions, placed the tax levy ordinance on file, approved $50 gift certificates for employees, and assigned a sewer lead worker.
The Pinckneyville City Council on Nov. 25 approved a series of routine motions and a single emergency repair during a meeting that lasted roughly 40 minutes.
The council unanimously approved the minutes of the Nov. 12 meeting and accepted the treasurer’s report, which showed an ending balance of $9,940,404.46 and an unrestricted balance of $2,296,742.23 for the period ending Oct. 2024. Commissioners approved accounts payable with three added invoices totaling $9,974.58 ($9,600.00 – AW Services; $74.58 – Frontier; $300.00 reimbursement to Jordan Brand).
Commissioner Joshua L. Kuhnert moved and the council approved an emergency repair by C and C Pumps at the Gordon Street Lift Station to fix a busted underground pipe at a cost of $11,792.86 to be paid from the sewer fund; Kuhnert noted the repair is temporary and that EPA requires a permanent fix in the future.
Commissioner William B. Stotlar presented and the council approved Resolution No. R-2024-45 to accept property insurance coverage through Sheffer Insurance Agency and the Illinois Counties Risk Management Trust, and Resolution No. R-2024-48 to authorize stop-loss insurance with AMI Group, Inc. and Northwind.
Stotlar also placed Ordinance No. R-2024-14 (levying taxes for corporate purposes for the fiscal year May 1, 2024–April 30, 2025) on file; City Attorney Don Bigham said the estimated extension increase was under 5%, so a truth-in-taxation hearing was not required for the ordinance itself (the Library will hold a separate truth-in-taxation hearing Dec. 9 at 5:30 p.m.).
Mayor Robert L. Spencer requested and the council approved $50 gift certificates for all city employees, including volunteer firefighters, at a total cost of $4,050. Commissioner Joshua L. Kuhnert moved to assign Andrew Straub as Lead Worker for the Sewer Department effective with the start of the current pay period; the council approved the appointment unanimously. The council adjourned at 6:40 p.m.
Votes on recorded motions were unanimous where roll call was taken.
