Summary

At its Feb. 5 meeting the Brownsville City Council tabled employee reviews, approved a tort-liability waiver tied to the city's insurance renewal, approved amended township fire-protection contracts, and heard routine maintenance updates.
Pam Walhovd moved and Barb Hurley seconded to table employee reviews until the March 5 council meeting to allow council members time to review written evaluations. The council approved the tort-liability waiver after discussion; the motion was moved by David Prestby and seconded by Barb Hurley.
Brandon Frank of the Brownsville Fire Department presented updated township emergency-protection contracts; the council agreed to minor amendments and, on a motion by Barb Hurley seconded by Pam Walhovd, approved the contracts as amended. The minutes record maintenance updates from Dean Twite, including that a new submersible pump from Gary's Pump and Well is scheduled for installation this week, Apartment 8 at Bluffview Manor is now rented, painting and lighting at the Community Center are complete, and that Twite and Ben Novak will attend a PFAS webinar on Feb. 10.
