Summary
At a March 18 special meeting, the Village of Ellsworth recorded a discussion of a $60,000 grant for preliminary engineering of the Bridge Street culvert, formed a committee to define expectations for a new water/DPW/Street administrator, and voted 7-0 to pass a resolution; the minutes do not specify the resolution's subject.
The Village of Ellsworth council met in a special session on March 18 and discussed a $60,000 grant the village intends to seek to fund preliminary engineering for the Bridge Street culvert. Leslie Meyers attended by Zoom to answer questions about the proposed grant, according to the meeting minutes.
Minutes state that the Bridge Street culvert work is part of a larger Upper Chain of Lakes project spanning four counties, placing the culvert work in a broader, multi-jurisdictional context. The minutes do not identify the four counties by name.
The council also formed a committee to develop a framework of expectations for a new water/DPW/Street administrator. The minutes list the committee composition as the HR team members J. Rasmussen and S. Dhillon, plus D. Ruis and L. Spearing.
A motion 'to pass the resolution' was made by S. Sowers and seconded by S. Dhillon; the minutes record the vote as 'CARRIED 7-0.' The minutes do not provide the text or subject of the resolution, so it is not possible from the record to state whether that vote authorized the grant application, approved committee work, or addressed another item.
The meeting was adjourned at 7:10 p.m. on a motion by M. Bennett, seconded by L. Spearing; adjournment was recorded as carried 7-0. The minutes are signed by Marlene Drenth, Village Clerk.
