Milroy Council approves consent agenda, operational purchases and summer hours for public works
Summary
At its March 23 meeting the Milroy City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda including claims and fire contracts, authorized several equipment purchases and adopted summer work hours for the public works director to begin May 1.
Milroy — The Milroy City Council on March 23 approved its consent agenda and a string of operational items, including claims payments, 2026–2027 fire contracts and a resolution designating surplus property. The council unanimously approved the consent agenda (moved by Chris Schmitt, seconded by Renee Zwach), which included minutes from Feb. 12 and Feb. 23, claims payable (checks #13011–13032) totaling $12,997.71 and electronic payments of $16,154.17, the fire contracts for 2026–2027 and Resolution #5.2026 designating surplus property.
In subsequent business the council approved purchasing graphics for a new fire vehicle from Country Enterprises and making the vehicle red (motion by Renee Zwach, second by Mary Dahmes). The council also voted to purchase a pressure washer from Rick’s Shop Supply for $1,091.93 (moved by Zwach; seconded by L. Sik).
The council addressed personnel policy changes after hearing a request from the Public Works Director for adjusted summer hours. Mayor Margaret Sik and the personnel committee supported the change; the council voted unanimously (Zwach/Dahmes) to allow the Public Works Director to implement summer hours from May 1 through Oct. 31: Monday–Thursday, 6:30 a.m.–5:15 p.m., and one hour on Friday. The personnel policy will be updated at the April meeting to include the hours.
Why it matters: The motions formalize routine operational spending and staffing arrangements that affect daily municipal services and the maintenance schedule for public works. Recording claims and approving annual fire contracts are standard financial controls that authorize the city to meet near-term obligations.
The council set a timetable for future business, including scheduling an Agreed Upon Procedures (AUP) audit in 2027 and confirming upcoming meetings for April.
