Greenfield council adopts solicitor appointment, cybersecurity emergency and budget adjustments
Summary
At its June 15 meeting, the Village of Greenfield council adopted Ordinance No. 20‑2026 appointing the village solicitor, passed Resolution No. 5‑2026 adopting a cybersecurity program as an emergency, and approved Ordinance No. 24‑2026 to increase appropriations including $13,210 in donations for fireworks.
The Village of Greenfield council on June 15 approved multiple measures including the appointment of the village solicitor, emergency adoption of a cybersecurity program, and an ordinance increasing appropriations to cover recent donations and other needs.
Vice‑Chairman David Weaks brought the third reading of Ordinance No. 20‑2026 to appoint the Village Solicitor and set terms of appointment. Council voted first to remove the emergency clause (motion carried) and then to adopt the ordinance; the motion to adopt passed with 3 yeas and 0 nays (Ernst, Mobley, Weaks).
Weaks also presented Resolution No. 5‑2026, a cybersecurity program for the village. Council amended the resolution to include emergency language, suspended the rule requiring three readings and adopted the resolution as an emergency; those motions passed with 3 yeas and 0 nays.
On fiscal matters, the council approved Ordinance No. 24‑2026 to increase appropriations. The ordinance moves funds for donations already received (notably $13,210 toward the fireworks), an emergency building purchase, a street deposit for contractor refunds, and Health Levy accounting tied to the county’s semiannual tax settlement. The motion to suspend the three‑reading requirement and adopt the ordinance also passed with 3 yeas and 0 nays.
The council received the first reading of Ordinance No. 23‑2026, amending the employee handbook to extend probationary periods for new employees; members amended wording to replace 'hires' with 'employees' and took no final action on the ordinance at this meeting.
Routine actions included approval of the June 1 minutes and a motion to authorize Jessica Hales, a village employee, as an official bank check signer; both motions carried unanimously among recorded votes.
Next steps: the village has adopted the solicitor appointment and cybersecurity program (the latter as an emergency). Ordinance No. 23‑2026 remains at first reading; council will consider implementation and any further readings at future meetings.
