Denton board accepts employee resignation, directs posting for maintenance supervisor; contract with Crete discussed
Summary
Trustees accepted the resignation of employee Ross Blackledge, directed the clerk to post and accept applications until the maintenance supervisor position is filled, discussed a contract with the City of Crete for a licensed operator (Chair Hobelman named contact), and tabled two hiring items until June 1.
Trustee Ryan Osborn moved and Chair Joe Hobelman seconded that the board accept the resignation of employee Ross Blackledge; the motion carried.
Trustee Amanda Fangmeier moved and Trustee Ryan Osborn seconded that the clerk post the opening for the maintenance supervisor position; applications will be accepted until the position is filled. That motion carried.
The board discussed refreshing the job description for a Water/Sewer/Maintenance Operator and considered a contract with the City of Crete for a licensed operator; Chair Joe Hobelman was identified as the board's contact with Crete. Agenda items to hire a temporary emergency maintenance employee and to hire an interim maintenance employee with a cap on hours were tabled until the June 1 meeting.
Why it matters: The resignation creates a near-term vacancy in maintenance operations that the village will fill through a posted job opening; contracting with the City of Crete could provide licensed operator services while recruitment proceeds. The minutes instruct the clerk to post the opening and accept applications until the position is filled.
What happens next: The clerk will post the maintenance supervisor vacancy and the board will revisit the tabled hiring items at the June 1 meeting. The minutes do not provide a hiring timeline, wage for the position, or the details of any contract with Crete.
