Middletown council unanimously adopts 2015 salary ordinance, sidewalk maintenance ordinance and vehicle‑loan resolution
Summary
On June 17, 2014, the Middletown Town Council approved a 2015 salary ordinance raising the Clerk‑Treasurer’s pay by $1,200 and other town employees’ hourly pay by $0.25; enacted Ordinance No. 3-2014 requiring abutting property owners to maintain sidewalks; and approved Resolution 6-17-2014-1 authorizing a vehicle loan agreement. All motions passed unanimously.
At its June 17 meeting, the Middletown Town Council approved three formal actions: a Salary Ordinance for 2015, the second reading and adoption of ORDINANCE NO. 3-2014 (requiring abutting property owners to maintain sidewalks), and RESOLUTION 6-17-2014-1 authorizing a vehicle loan agreement.
Salary ordinance: Council President Betty Riley moved to approve the proposed Salary Ordinance for 2015, which increases the Clerk‑Treasurer’s compensation by $1,200 per year and raises hourly wages for other town employees by $0.25. Council Member Norm Purdue seconded the motion, which passed unanimously. The ordinance will adjust municipal payroll as described; the transcript does not specify an effective date beyond the reference to “2015.”
Ordinance No. 3-2014 (sidewalk maintenance): Betty Riley moved to allow the second reading of ORDINANCE NO. 3-2014 by title only, and Gary Kendall seconded; that motion passed unanimously. Riley then moved to approve the second reading of the ordinance, with Norm Purdue seconding; the motion passed unanimously and the ordinance was enacted. The ordinance requires abutting property owners to maintain sidewalks; the minutes record the title and adoption but provide no additional implementation details or compliance timeline.
Resolution 6-17-2014-1 (vehicle loan): Betty Riley moved to approve RESOLUTION 6-17-2014-1, authorizing a certain vehicle loan agreement for the Town of Middletown; Gary Kendall seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.
