Summary
At its Dec. 10 meeting, the City of Corydon City Council unanimously approved a $3,208.96 purchase of a shop welder, two fund-transfer resolutions for a $500 fire chief stipend and FY26 debt service from the LOSST fund, staff apparel allowances and personnel handbook changes that include a pay-period change effective Jan. 15, 2026.
The City of Corydon City Council unanimously approved a slate of routine measures Wednesday, Dec. 10, including the purchase of a shop welder, two fund-transfer resolutions, staff apparel allowances and changes to the personnel policy, the minutes show.
The action came at a regularly scheduled meeting called to order at 5:30 p.m. by Mayor Pro Tem Dawn Christian. Mayor Nathan Bennett was noted as absent; Councilors Chase Clark, Kyle Hampton, Kenny Holmes and Bryan Wolfe were present.
Council approved the meeting agenda with one change to move the swearing-in of re-elected Mayor Nathan Bennett to a later date because Bennett was not present. The consent agenda — which included the November receipt report, unpaid and prepaid bills, minutes from the Nov. 26 regular meeting, an alcohol license amendment for Casey’s and an alcohol license renewal for Corydon Store — was then approved on a 5‑0 vote (Christian, Clark, Hampton, Holmes, Wolfe).
Under procurement items, city crew member Chris Gilson reported the request to purchase a shop welder and tank at a total cost of $3,208.96. Councilor Kyle Hampton moved to approve the purchase; Councilor Chase Clark seconded. The motion carried 5‑0.
On finance measures, Councilor Chase Clark moved (seconded by Bryan Wolfe) to adopt Resolution 2026‑024, authorizing the transfer of funds for an annual Fire Chief stipend of $500; the resolution passed 5‑0. Clark also moved (seconded by Kyle Hampton) to adopt Resolution 2026‑025, authorizing transfer of LOSST funds for FY26 debt service payments on the street sweeper and skid loader; that measure passed 5‑0.
The council approved an allowance for City Hall staff apparel of up to $100 per person (motion by Bryan Wolfe, seconded by Kenny Holmes; 5‑0). It also approved changes to the personnel policy handbook: revisions to Section 12.1 (PTO accrual after 17 and 22 years of service) and Section 10.1 (pay days and cashing checks). The minutes record that the pay-period wording will change "from Thursday to Wednesday to Friday to Thursday" and that the change will begin Jan. 15, 2026; the council approved those amendments on a 5‑0 vote (motion by Chase Clark, seconded by Kenny Holmes). The minutes do not include further explanation of the pay-period wording.
City Clerk Stacy Gibbs reminded the council of a budget workshop scheduled for Dec. 17 and relayed positive public feedback praising the city crew’s snow removal during the Thanksgiving holiday. The public works report noted Oak Street repairs, water leaks on Lincoln Street, a needed repair to a trailer vacuum hose and a quote for electrical work at the Lagoon/SAGR storage shed. Fire Chief Cobb was noted as not present.
The meeting concluded with a brief community note: Councilor Kenny Holmes thanked East Penn for extending a sidewalk on the west side of town and urged property owners to clear sidewalks promptly after snowfall. The council set its next regular meeting for Jan. 14, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. and adjourned at 6:12 p.m.
