Board approves minutes and financial reports; 2026 salary ordinance amended and alleyway ordinance deferred
Summary
At a routine board meeting, members accepted minutes and financial reports, discussed amending the 2026 salary ordinance to add deputy pay/hours, deferred action on an alleyway-closing ordinance until January, approved a capital asset with a Dec. 15 date, and discussed moving a storage shed and inventory of chairs.
The board convened and accepted previously distributed minutes and financial reports, with motions and seconds recorded to accept both sets of documents. An APV summary was likewise accepted after a motion to approve.
A presenter reviewed the 2026 personnel schedules, including the holiday calendar and pay schedules. The board discussed keeping the regular meeting time at 3:00 p.m.; no formal vote on the meeting time was recorded in the transcript. Members also noted a needed amendment to the 2026 salary ordinance to reflect the deputy position’s hourly wage and a shared 60-hour allocation between two positions; the amendment was described as the only substantive change to that ordinance draft.
Board members discussed closing the alleyway between the fire department and 107 East. The county attorney prepared a draft ordinance for that closure, and participants debated whether required publication had already taken place; the group elected to defer formal readings or publication until January.
Updates included a report that patrol vehicles had been repaired and returned to service and that RP ARP-designated funds had been spent. The board described a capital-asset item as approved and said a date was set for Dec. 15. A tracker device was reported as ordered, with an estimated delivery or recovery window of late March to early April.
Members spent substantial time on logistics for town storage and event equipment. They reviewed options for an existing barn/shed, agreed to leave it in its current location for now, and noted the need to place rock beneath it because of how it sits. The board discussed moving another shed, measuring it to confirm fit, and having a member or contractor (referred to in conversation as 'Jake') possibly relocate and level it. The group reported buying two racks for chairs that are stored in the electric building and described capacity estimates: participants referenced roughly 80–85 chairs and specifically '84 chairs,' and said each rack could also hold some tables. The transcript did not record a formal vote or mover/second names for these equipment items.
The meeting concluded routine items and multiple motions received seconds; the transcript excerpt did not include recorded vote tallies or the names of movers and seconders for every motion.
