Gaylord council approves grader tires, hires library assistant and adopts billboard ordinance
Summary
Council approved $5,400 to replace two front tires on a city grader, hired Deborah Eer as a part-time library assistant, and adopted Ordinance No. 367 allowing billboard signs as a conditional use in the I-2 heavy industrial district; all motions were carried by voice vote.
Gaylord City Council approved a set of routine operational and personnel actions and adopted Ordinance No. 367 after a second reading.
The council voted to authorize up to $5,400 from the street vehicle maintenance budget to replace the two front tires on the city’s Volvo road grader after public works staff reported the current tires showed dry rot and needed replacement before winter. Public works staff provided a vendor quote for all six tires at about $15,376 and recommended replacing the two fronts this year and the remaining tires next year.
The council also approved the hiring of Deborah Eer as a part-time library assistant (Grade 2, Step 1 — $11.16/hour) and indicated the library will accept longtime staff member Ruth W. Walter’s resignation once the new hire is in place.
In unfinished business, the council conducted the second reading and adopted Ordinance No. 367, which amends Chapter 153 (Section 153.49) to allow billboard signs as a conditional use in the I-2 heavy industrial district; the council also voted to approve the ordinance summary and its publication. Motions to approve the consent agenda and other routine items were carried by voice votes during the meeting.
