The Lake Odessa Village Council on Feb. 2 approved a Village Manager Employment Agreement for Mark Borden following a brief review of the contract terms and benefits.

President Karen Banks reviewed the agreement and trustees discussed specific provisions, including the auto allowance.

The council voted yes: Green, DeJong, Brighton, Rush, Yoder and Banks; No: none. Trustee Roy Halfmann was recorded as absent. The motion carried 6-0.

The vote finalizes the employment contract as presented; the minutes record discussion about the agreement’s terms but do not specify additional contractual details beyond the auto allowance discussion. The meeting record shows the action was taken by formal motion and roll-call vote.

The council took the employment vote during a special meeting that also included a budget workshop; the meeting adjourned at 8:31 p.m.
