Chaffee council approves permits, D.A.R.E. cost-share, dispatch connection, firefighter reinstatement and park appointment
Summary
Council members approved a building permit, agreed to fund half of D.A.R.E. shirts, accepted a CAD-to-CAD dispatch quote, reinstated a firefighter, appointed a park board member, and approved vendor and monthly bills.
At the Oct. 7 meeting the Chaffee City Council approved a package of routine administrative and personnel items.
The council approved prior meeting minutes after City Clerk Barbara K. Doan read them. A building permit for a new house at 12239 State Hwy. 77, submitted by Geoff Mirly, was approved following a motion by Danny Finley and a second from Steve Milz.
Police Chief Sullivan updated the council on cemetery headstone work and public-safety follow-up regarding a named individual in custody. Chief Sullivan also presented a D.A.R.E. shirt purchase for participants: the total purchase price was $1,802.90 from the D.A.R.E. licensee, with the school paying half and the city to pay $901.45; the council approved the city’s $901.45 share after a motion by Andy Sadler and a second from Tara Golightly.
The council accepted a CAD-to-CAD dispatch connection quote (Omnigo) tied to a Scott County 911 interconnectivity initiative: a prorated $1,461.16 for the remainder of the year and $2,340.00 annually thereafter; the council approved paying the prorated amount following a motion by Danny Finley and a second from Steve Milz.
Fire Chief Glency’s request to reinstate Jake Swinford to the department roster was approved after a motion by Eric Seyer and a second from Steve Milz. The Park Board requested appointment of Jake Williams to fill the vacancy left by Mallory Estes; the council appointed Williams on a motion from Andy Sadler and a second from Steve Milz. Park items discussed included a recommended bubbler for the pond and deferred park-light replacement due to obsolete bulbs and purchase limits.
The City Clerk presented vendor bills (MFA Oil for $2,259.57 and Republic Services for $16,778.74) and the council voted to pay them; monthly bills and the Collector’s Report for September 2024 were also approved. Several of these items were recorded with unanimous votes in the transcript.
Votes at a glance: the transcript records motions and seconders for approval of minutes, the Geoff Mirly building permit, the D.A.R.E. cost-share ($901.45), the Omnigo CAD connection (prorated $1,461.16), reinstatement of firefighter Jake Swinford, appointment of Jake Williams to the Park Board, payment of vendor and monthly bills, and approval of the Collector’s Report; all recorded motions carried.
