Paynesville council approves Lake Avenue pay estimate, airport lease and hires seasonal public works staff
Summary
At its regular meeting, the Paynesville City Council approved a $65,535 payment estimate for Lake Avenue riverbed stabilization, transferred capital funds to cover an airport project share, authorized hiring two seasonal public-works workers, and approved an airport T-hangar lease with Timothy Shrier. All motions passed by voice vote.
The Paynesville City Council approved several routine operational items at its meeting, including a $65,535 payment estimate for the Lake Avenue riverbed stabilization project, a transfer of capital improvement funds to the municipal airport, authorization to begin hiring two seasonal public works employees, and an airport T-hangar lease for Timothy Shrier.
The actions were introduced as separate motions during the meeting. Brick moved to approve the consent agenda, which included minutes, vouchers and personnel changes, and the council approved it by voice vote. The council then approved Payment Estimate No. 1 for the Lake Avenue project — described in the packet as completed riprap work — for $65,535 payable to Voss Plumbing after a motion by Herberg and a second by Thelen; the motion carried on a voice vote.
Councilors then approved a transfer of funds from the Capital Improvement Fund to the airport to cover the city’s 5% share of an identified airport project after a motion by Brick and a second by Potter; that motion also passed by voice vote. The council authorized starting the hiring process for two part-time seasonal public works maintenance employees (a total of 67 seasonal days) after a motion by Brick and a second; the motion carried, and the positions will remain open until staff makes a hiring recommendation.
Finally, the council approved an airport T-hangar lease agreement between the City of Paynesville and Timothy Shrier; the motion was made by Potter, seconded by Brick and approved by voice vote.
