Summary
At its Aug. 5 meeting, the Dunkirk Village Council approved an ordinance to employ Joeline Ribley as fiscal officer, compensated outgoing Fiscal Officer Phyllis Spencer for 56 hours ($1,346.24), and approved payroll and liabilities (motion passed with one abstention). Council later rescinded a separate training agreement with Spencer.
The Dunkirk Village Council on Aug. 5 approved an ordinance authorizing the mayor to contract with Joeline Ribley to serve as the village fiscal officer and declared the measure an emergency, a motion that passed 6-0. Council also waived the three-reading rule by unanimous vote.
Earlier in the meeting the council voted to compensate outgoing Fiscal Officer Phyllis Spencer for 56 personal leave hours at her daily rate of $24.04, totaling $1,346.24; that motion passed 6-0. The council had previously approved a separate motion to have Spencer train Interim Fiscal Officer Joeline Ribley on water-billing procedures, but later rescinded that training authorization by a 6-0 vote.
Council members approved payment of payroll and liabilities on a motion by Marshman, seconded by Baum; the motion passed with a 5-0 tally and one abstention (Crowe). Payroll and liabilities listed in the minutes included payments to Daniel Dillhoff ($174.30); Bob Hershberger ($790.79); Phyllis Spencer ($899.79); Environmental Robotics Inspection ($719.00); Todd Hackworth ($2,817.50); and Joeline Ribley ($640.00).
The meeting record notes other routine administrative items in the Fiscal Officer's report, including submission of Kroger opioid-settlement paperwork, preparation of bank signature-card and credit-card changes, month-end financial reports (bank reconciliation, revenue and appropriation status), RITA non-filer letters (194 mailed), and audit filings.
The ordinance approving Ribley was recorded in the minutes as "Ordinance No. 2024-" with the ordinance number not specified in the record. Motions, movers and vote tallies recorded in the official minutes match the council roll calls: the acceptance of minutes passed 6-0, the compensation and ordinance measures passed 6-0, the payroll motion passed 5-0 with one abstention, and the training-rescission motion passed 6-0.
