Summary

Trustees accepted the resignation of employee Ross Blackledge, directed the clerk to post a maintenance‑supervisor opening, tabled emergency and interim hires, and introduced a wage and compensation ordinance adding Emergency Hires and Interim Consultant categories.

The Denton Board of Trustees accepted the resignation of employee Ross Blackledge at its May 21 meeting. Trustee Ryan Osborn moved to accept the resignation; Chair Joe Hobelman seconded and the motion carried.

Following the acceptance, the board directed Clerk/Treasurer Charlotte Te Brink to post an opening for the maintenance supervisor position; applications will be accepted until the position is filled. Two related personnel items — hiring a temporary emergency maintenance employee and hiring an interim maintenance employee with a maximum hours limit — were tabled until the June 1 meeting.

On compensation policy, the board introduced Ordinance No. 26‑5‑2, a wage and compensation ordinance. The village attorney suggested adding pay categories for Emergency Hires and Interim Consultants to the wage ordinance; Trustee Ryan Osborn moved and Trustee Amanda Fangmeier seconded to introduce and hold the first reading of the ordinance, and the motion carried.

The minutes do not record vote tallies or contract details for interim staffing; they note only that the items were tabled and that the clerk will post the maintenance opening. No effective dates or hourly rates for the wage ordinance were recorded in the minutes.
