Middletown’s Town Council unanimously approved a series of routine actions at its Oct. 6, 2015 meeting, including adopting a bond ordinance to prepare for State Revolving Fund financing for a water treatment plant replacement, approving additional appropriations for several funds, authorizing the sale of a surplus vehicle and approving a monthly-license agreement for a cell tower on town property.
The Clerk-Treasurer read Ordinance 2015-5, described as “an ordinance of the Town of Middletown authorizing the issuance of waterworks revenue bonds” to fund additions, extensions and improvements to the municipal waterworks. The ordinance authorizes the town’s bond counsel, Ice-Miller, to proceed with work needed to prepare for closing on a State Revolving Fund loan for the Water Treatment Plant Replacement Project. Town Council President Betty Riley moved to adopt Ordinance 2015-5; Gary Kendall seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The council approved Resolution 2015-10-06-01 to add appropriations for payroll and capital needs. The resolution added $30,000 to the General Fund to cover Police and dispatch salaries through the end of the year, $5,000 to the Local Road & Street Fund and $15,000 to the Cumulative Capital Improvement Fund. Norm Purdue moved to approve the additional appropriations; Betty Riley seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
On surplus property, Clerk-Treasurer Drew Cooper reported no new bids for the town’s 2008 Dodge Durango. Betty Riley moved to authorize the Town Marshall to place a “FOR SALE” sign on the vehicle and accept the first offer of at least $500. Gary Kendall seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The council also approved a license agreement with Horvath Towers allowing a cell phone tower to be built on town property next to the tennis courts on South 5th Street for $500 per month. Dave Wagner moved to authorize the council president to sign the agreement; Shelly Kimmerling seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The meeting opened at 7:00 p.m. in the Public Meeting Room at 653 Locust Street and was led by Town Council President Betty Riley. With no further business, the council adjourned.
