Dover council accepts retirement of longtime employee and reallocates tractor funds to general fund
Summary
The council approved the retirement of Gary Pedersen effective May 29, 2025, decided against purchasing a new tractor and moved the budgeted tractor funds into the general fund for future use; the clerk will research cemetery donation history and obtain a computer quote.
At its June 5 meeting the Dover City Council approved the retirement of city employee Gary Pedersen and moved previously budgeted funds for a new tractor into the general fund.
Member Eric Tyler moved and Member Chelsie Kiekbusch seconded a motion to approve Gary Pedersen’s retirement, with the minutes listing May 29, 2025 as his last official day; the motion carried. The minutes do not state Pedersen's role or provide additional personnel details beyond the retirement date.
Council members determined a new tractor was unnecessary and voted to transfer the budgeted tractor funds to the general fund; members discussed buying a new lawn mower at a later date. Clerk Melanie McGrath said she is waiting for a quote on a new computer and will report back when the quote is received.
The clerk also said she will research past donations to the Dover cemetery and bring findings to the next meeting. The council adjourned at 8:30 PM.
