Canton board approves hires, fire‑department appointment, ad expenditure and recognizes Pride Month
Summary
The Canton Village Board approved routine business including vouchers, appointment of Casey Robersonson to the fire department, multiple hires for recreation and DPW, an ad expenditure, and recognized June as Pride Month; it also authorized an asbestos survey for an old sewer administration building.
The board handled a slate of administrative and personnel matters during new business. Members approved payment of vouchers and transfers, and appointed Casey Robersonson as a new fire department member.
The board approved hiring Christopher Jaco as a full‑time laborer at $19 per hour and a group of summer recreation attendants at $16 per hour; the hires will be managed by the clerk and recreation staff. The board also approved hiring Deon Robert as an entry‑level DPW laborer pending medical clearance and completion of a required CDL air‑brake endorsement. Members described Deon's tree‑service and construction experience as beneficial to public‑works operations.
The board moved to hire Zachary Montroy as a police officer pending medical and psychological exams; the medical was completed and a psych exam was scheduled. That motion carried but the clerk recorded one vote in opposition for the police hire.
On fiscal items, the board authorized $397.50 for the village's half of an annual half‑page Chamber relocation ad; one member recorded opposition to that expenditure. The board also approved sale of excess equipment and noted continued coordination with the town on some shared costs.
As a health and safety precursor to removing an old municipal building, members authorized an asbestos survey for the old sewer administration building; the motion passed with a recorded opposition. The board also recognized June as Pride Month and said the topic will be discussed further at a future joint meeting with town officials to gather legal guidance and coordinate events.
All personnel appointments and routine motions were approved by the board in the meeting; where the transcript recorded opposition, the minutes do not include a roll‑call tally of yes/no votes.
