Onsted council approves chlorine analyzer purchase, budget amendments and personnel moves
Summary
Council approved first-quarter budget amendments, authorized up to $15,000 for a chlorine analyzer, increased DPW Superintendent Ken Rowe’s salary by $4,000 for a license, made park committee appointments and approved a Main Street closure for a car show.
The Onsted Village Council on June 8 approved a series of operational and personnel items, including budget amendments, equipment purchases and appointments.
Council approved first-quarter budget amendments and authorized the purchase of a chlorine analyzer not to exceed $15,000 to support water treatment operations (motion by Steve Muth, supported by Shannon Kropp). The transcript notes that chlorine concentration at the plant "will go up another 4% next year," and the council also announced Water Treatment Plant open-house dates for June 11, July 16 and Aug. 13 from 4:30–7:00 p.m.
On personnel, the council granted DPW Superintendent Ken Rowe a $4,000 salary increase for obtaining his Limited Treatment license (motion by Steve Muth, supported by Mike Slick). The council appointed Sally Hazen and Arin Krol to the Village Park Committee and approved placing Keri Jeffords as the council’s representative to the Planning Commission. Council also approved closing North and South Main Street on Aug. 14, 2026, from 4:30–8:30 p.m. for the Onsted Classic Car Show Cruise Night. Departmental reports were received and filed, and the meeting adjourned at 8:21 p.m.
The transcript records motions and approvals but does not provide budget line-item details for the amendments or identify funding sources for the chlorine analyzer purchase; those details were not specified in the meeting record.
