Hewitt board approves split shifts for poll workers, reviews neglected-property ordinance draft
Summary
The board approved allowing split shifts for election poll workers and reviewed a draft Ordinance 2026-01 on property maintenance; electronic sign messages for Valentine's Day and the Feb. 17 primary were suggested.
At its Jan. 14 meeting the Village of Hewitt Board approved allowing split shifts for election poll workers and reviewed a draft ordinance addressing neglected or unkempt properties.
Trustee Tom Iwanski moved to permit split shifts for poll workers; Trustee Cassie Horn seconded the motion and it carried. The board did not provide additional details in the minutes about implementation or payroll treatment beyond approving the format change.
The board also reviewed a draft Ordinance 2026-01 on Property Maintenance intended to address neglected and unkempt properties. The minutes indicate the ordinance draft was reviewed but do not record final edits, votes, or an adoption timeline.
Separately, the board discussed suggestions for the village electronic sign, including display messages for Valentine’s Day and to note the Feb. 17 primary election day.
Next steps: ordinance development continues and the board will address implementation details for split-shift poll workers as needed.
