Denison council approves consent agenda with liquor licenses, appointments and seasonal hires; tables lawn‑care contract
Summary
Council approved a consent agenda that included several liquor licenses and appointments to boards, and hired two seasonal snow‑removal workers; the council tabled a contract decision for Northside Recreation lawn care pending cost information.
At its Feb. 18 meeting the Denison City Council approved the consent agenda, which included minutes, bills and several liquor licenses, and confirmed personnel actions and appointments.
Items approved included liquor licenses for El Michoacano, Inc.; WalMart Store #1732; One Stop Shop #4; and St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church. The council also approved an amendment to the St. Patrick’s Day special event permits to change the licensed establishment from the Bake Shop to the Old Fashioned. Appointments approved included Donna Koch to the Board of Library Trustees (term to expire 07/2028) and Troy Groth to the Airport Commission (term to expire 08/2027). The council approved hiring Darren Stearns and Steven Hartwig as seasonal snow‑removal employees at an hourly wage of $22.45, effective Feb. 10 and Feb. 12, 2025, respectively.
During the same discussion council considered bids for lawn care at the Northside Recreation Area. The Northside Recreation Board recommended splitting mowing responsibilities between the school and the city, but Council asked staff to provide additional cost and equipment information after Parks & Recreation Director Ellis said in‑house mowing would likely be cheaper. Councilmember Zupp-Smith moved and Miller seconded a motion to table the contract approval pending more information; the motion carried unanimously.
All consent-agenda approvals were acted on by motion and passed without objection.
