Enon council authorizes mayor to assign administrator duties to water superintendent after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on personnel, the Village of Enon council unanimously authorized Mayor Howard to assign additional administrator duties to Water Superintendent Jason Rose and set supplemental pay; council also approved routine financial and court reports.
The Village of Enon council on June 9 unanimously authorized Mayor Howard to assign additional duties to Water Superintendent Jason Rose and set a supplemental pay rate, following an executive session that addressed employment matters. The motion to authorize the assignment was made by Council President Rick Hanna and seconded by Councilman Leist.
The action came after the council entered executive session at 7:03 p.m. to discuss "the appointment, employment, dismissal, discipline, promotion, demotion, or compensation of a public employee or official," and returned to regular order at 7:54 p.m. The minutes state no further details from the closed session were disclosed in open session.
Why it matters: With Administrator Arthur Franklin’s last day scheduled for June 12, 2026, the authorization provides a temporary administrative pathway for continuing village operations by assigning duties to a department head; the supplemental pay amount was not specified in the public minutes. Council members voted unanimously in favor of the assignment.
Council also handled routine business before the executive session. Motions to approve the May 26, 2026 minutes (moved Leist; second Sweet), the May bank reconciliation (moved Whitacre; second Leist) and the May Mayor's Court report (moved Whitacre; second Beair) all passed unanimously.
Votes at a glance: - Approve minutes of May 26, 2026 — Mover: Leist; Second: Sweet; Outcome: Approved (Leist Yes; Sweet Yes; Beair Yes; Whitacre Yes; Davoli Yes; Hanna Yes). - Approve Bank Reconciliation for May 2026 — Mover: Whitacre; Second: Leist; Outcome: Approved (unanimous). - Approve Mayor's Court Report for May 2026 — Mover: Whitacre; Second: Beair; Outcome: Approved (unanimous). - Enter executive session to discuss personnel — Mover: Whitacre; Second: Leist; Outcome: Approved (unanimous). - Authorize Mayor to assign additional duties to Water Superintendent Jason Rose and set supplemental pay — Mover: Rick Hanna; Second: Leist; Outcome: Approved (unanimous). (Supplemental pay amount: not specified in minutes.) - Adjourn meeting — Mover: Leist; Second: Beair; Outcome: Approved (unanimous).
What’s next: The minutes record that Administrator Arthur Franklin's last day is June 12, 2026; the motion gives the mayor authority to assign duties in the administrator’s absence. The minutes do not specify whether a search for a replacement administrator will begin or the supplemental pay amount; those matters were not recorded in the public portion of the meeting.
