Decatur updates staffing; approves certification payment and copier purchase funding plan
Summary
Council announced several hires in public‑works and water operations, approved a one‑time certification payment for an employee, and voted to buy a Sharp copier with funding to be determined by budget amendment across general, water and sewer funds.
The board heard multiple personnel updates and approved two administrative items Dec. 10: a one‑time certification payment and a copier purchase plan.
Communications staff said Brian White will join as a water operator and is enrolled in an apprenticeship program; staff also listed other operations hires and current water‑plant and wastewater‑plant operators. The board moved and approved a one‑time certification payment for an employee (Denton) to cover a tire certification; members present voted in favor.
Separately, staff recommended purchasing a Sharp copier as the lowest cost per‑page option among three bids. The board moved to accept the Sharp copier purchase but left the funding source to be determined; members discussed amending the budget and splitting the expense among the general, water and sewer funds.
The board also approved a $600 holiday gift for each employee, noting payroll taxes will apply.
