The council approved payment of $147,716.19 in bills and passed motions approving office renovation bids, a manager contract with specified insurance and bank requirements, a credit card policy edit, police holiday pay as an annual payout, and adding an ESTA 72-hour bank for employees; votes are recorded in the minutes.
At its Feb. 20 meeting, the Village of Stockbridge council approved several financial, personnel and policy items recorded in the minutes.
Key approvals included paying bills totaling $147,716.19 (motion by Howlett, supported by Cattell; roll call ayes from Cattell, Morehouse, Fairbotham, Howlett and Ogden), accepting office renovation bids for flooring and framing totaling $10,800 (motion by Howlett, supported by Cattell; ayes from Fairbotham, Morehouse, Cattell and Ogden), and approving the manager contract as written with the addition of an ESTA bank requirement and $70,000 life insurance at a $20 annual premium (motion by Howlett, supported by Fairbotham; unanimous among those present).
Policy and personnel items approved included a credit card policy edited to add the clerk where the treasurer is listed, and a decision to pay Police Department holiday pay as an annual payout on Dec. 1. Council also voted to add an ESTA 72-hour bank for all employees; that motion was made by President Ogden and supported by Council member Cattell.
The minutes record roll-call votes for each item and list members absent (Powers-Taylor and Good) for the meeting. The document does not provide line-item budget detail or contractor vendor names beyond the bid total for flooring and framing; those details would be resolved through administrative follow-up.
