Red River council ratifies wastewater hire, approves surplus sale and reviews budget adjustments
Summary
Councilors ratified a wastewater-treatment hire and approved a surplus-equipment sale; the council reviewed resolution 2024-27 to adjust multiple budget lines including library and destination grants, while one budget item’s final vote was not explicitly recorded in the transcript.
At its meeting, the council moved to ratify Jerome Marchidis as a new wastewater-treatment employee. Chair (speaker 2) introduced the motion, which was seconded, and the roll call produced affirmative votes from council members present; the chair then announced the ratification.
The council also considered and approved resolution 2024-03 to declare several pieces of obsolete equipment surplus (a damaged floor item, old desks and shelving). Chair (speaker 2) presented the item and councilors voted by roll call with affirmative responses recorded.
Chair (speaker 2) reviewed resolution 2024-27, a set of budget adjustments including a library donation coded to 101-1620, a rural library grant increase, a destination board grant increase of $39,769, and a GRAMA fund increase of $35,700 to cover road funding and related match items. The council reviewed the packet details and discussed the purpose of the grants; a formal roll-call result for resolution 2024-27 was not clearly recorded in the provided transcript.
The council also postponed action on a water-line easement item until easements and related details are finalized.
The meeting packet will be posted on the town website (riverdam.gov), per staff guidance, and the council directed staff to continue posting budget materials online rather than printing copies for each meeting.
