Trustees press for improved staff communication, updated credit‑card records and timeline for online payments
Summary
Trustees requested a regular vacation calendar and better sharing of staff information, asked that credit‑card statements showing "Annette" be updated, and were told credit‑card payments will be enabled after the Locis 8 upgrade, which the vendor said takes a couple months.
Trustees said they want more regular communication from village staff and clearer records for payroll and credit‑card usage.
Trustee Tim Hopkins asked for a vacation calendar every two weeks that ties to payroll. Trustee Todd Reyling said trustees need the information they request because they are accountable to taxpayers. Trustee Jim Elbe said prior vacation-record problems would not recur. Todd Reyling pointed to credit‑card statements that listed “Annette” and asked that the records be updated to reflect accurate cardholders.
Trustee Jason Becherer asked when the village will begin taking credit‑card payments. Mayor Mike Smallwood said the village will accept card payments after it upgrades to Locis 8; Nicole from Locis told trustees the upgrade process takes a couple of months, according to the minutes.
No formal policy was adopted June 30; trustees requested staff provide the requested calendars and records and to follow up on the timing for the Locis upgrade.
