Eveleth appoints assistant weed inspector and approves community initiative application
Summary
Council appointed Councilmember Brian Lillis as assistant weed inspector (mayor is head weed inspector) and approved a civil service‑based initiative application allowing the city to support volunteer projects and small donations to local nonprofits and school teams.
The Eveleth City Council unanimously appointed Councilmember Brian Lillis as assistant weed inspector on May 18, confirming the mayor's role as head weed inspector. The appointment was accompanied by lighthearted comments about training and the responsibilities of enforcing noxious‑weed rules.
Separately, the council approved the City of Eveleth Service-Based Initiative (ESBI) application, a program that allows the city — with attorney guidance — to give limited donations or support to 501(c)(3) groups, school teams and volunteer organizations to help complete small community projects such as parks, painting and roadside cleanup. Mayor Rowan and staff encouraged volunteer groups and individuals to contact Jerry in Public Works to coordinate potential projects.
Both motions passed by voice vote with no recorded roll-call tallies.
