The Village of Bloomington board approved a $249,920 pay application for street paving, several business and operator licenses, a $2,000/year quarry access contract and temporary accounting support and insurance continuation for the clerk during her FMLA leave.
The Village of Bloomington board voted June 2 to approve a $249,920 pay application to JI Construction for paving work, approve multiple retail and operator licenses, accept a $2,000-per-year quarry access contract and arrange temporary accounting services and insurance continuation while the clerk is on F.M.L.A.
Village President Robert McLimans said the board reviewed Delta 3 Engineering’s update on the 2024 infrastructure project and approved Pay Application #8 to JI Construction for $249,920 to cover paving (motion by Dennis Moris; seconded by Alan Mergen). The board recorded unanimous approval.
Trustees also approved a slate of alcohol, tobacco, operator and mobile-home licenses, including Route 35; Blue Jay’s Bar & Grill; Whispers & Thyme; Bloomington Stop & Go; the Bloomington Park Concession Stand Group (six-month Class B); Economy Feed Mill; and Hoffman’s Court Street Property. Motions for those approvals were moved and seconded as recorded and carried unanimously.
The board accepted an extended contract with WTCC to use the quarry for brush, grass clippings and other natural burnable material, excluding treated wood or material with nails, at $2,000 per year (motion by Alan Mergen; seconded by Dennis Moris). The board approved a personnel action raising summer help Brenden Jentz’s wage from $11 to $12 per hour (motion by Alan Mergen; seconded by Chassity Allen).
After a closed-session discussion of employment matters under Statute 19.85(1)(c), the board voted to accept an Engagement of Services from Johnson Block Accounting to assist with Clerk duties during Clerk/Treasurer Shawna Atterbury’s F.M.L.A. (motion by Robert McLimans; seconded by Scott Daentl) and to maintain all health insurance premiums for the clerk during that leave (motion by McLimans; seconded by Alan Mergen).
