Steven Pulskamp sworn to council seat; second reading held on hiring outside counsel for handbook update
Summary
Steven Pulskamp was recommended and sworn in to fill the vacant council seat of Jessica Lomakin (term through Dec. 31, 2025). Council also recorded a second reading of Resolution 2025-05-06 to retain Zashin & Rich Co., LPA for an employee handbook update.
The council recorded the recommendation and swearing-in of Steven Pulskamp to the vacant Village Council seat previously held by Jessica Lomakin. Minutes state Pulskamp was recommended to fill the seat (term expiring Dec. 31, 2025) and was sworn in by Mayor Robert D. Parker. The minutes do not state who moved or seconded the appointment recommendation nor whether a formal vote was taken prior to the swearing-in.
Separately, the minutes note that the village is engaging Zashin & Rich Co., LPA to update the employee handbook (the last revision noted in the minutes was 2018). A second reading of Resolution 2025-05-06 "Enter into Engagement letter with Zashin & Rich Co LPA as special legal counsel" is recorded; the meeting minutes do not record a final vote on the resolution in these excerpts.
The swearing-in makes Pulskamp an active council member for the remainder of the stated term; the handbook engagement is at the second-reading stage per the minutes and may require further council action to finalize.
