Kensett to interview city clerk applicants; council awaits generator bid; visitors seek approval for new board member
Summary
Mayor Corey Pulju said he will contact three applicants to schedule interviews for city clerk. The council is still waiting for a bid for a City Hall generator, and visitors requested approval of board member Ann Smith and help clearing the library sidewalk.
Mayor Corey Pulju told the Kensett City Council on Nov. 10 that three applications for the city clerk position had been received and that he will contact the applicants to arrange interviews.
Pulju also said the newly elected council members and incoming mayor will be sworn in at the December meeting and that he will arrange for the new mayor to be added as a signatory on city accounts after swearing-in.
Under old business, council members said they are still waiting for a bid for a City Hall generator; no vendor, bid amount or procurement timeline was recorded in the minutes.
Visitors R. Ulve and H. Thompson asked the council to approve their new board member, Ann Smith, and noted a vendor will remove junk from a basement next week. The visitors also asked about snow removal for the sidewalk in front of the library; the council agreed that maintenance will clear the sidewalk for the winter.
The minutes do not state whether the council formally approved Ann Smith’s appointment at this meeting; the record only shows that the visitors sought approval.
What this means: The city is actively recruiting for a key administrative role, has short-term maintenance tasks assigned to staff, and still needs procurement information to proceed with a generator purchase.
