Council adopts supplemental appropriation, transfers, personnel changes and lead‑service‑line ordinance
Summary
Greenville City Council suspended rules and adopted a package of ordinances and resolutions: supplemental appropriations including $1,580,402.56 for the East Industrial Park water tower, a $4,000 transfer for pool chemicals, a codification update, a lead‑service‑line replacement ordinance, personnel changes to add a part‑time legal assistant, several vendor payments and other routine measures.
At its regular meeting, the Greenville City Council suspended the rules and adopted several ordinances and resolutions covering city finances, personnel and water‑system work.
Supplemental appropriations: The council approved a supplemental ordinance that moved funds into the Water Works Capital Improvement Fund for the East Industrial Park water tower project, recording $1,580,402.56 in OWDA loan payments; the supplemental also included $60,000 for a clarifier mixer rehabilitation and $2,278,648.36 for wastewater solids‑handling improvements. The ordinance was moved and carried by roll call (recorded votes: Yes — Amy, Godwin, Poe, Kendall, Norris, Rogers, Wellman). (Motion to adopt recorded at the meeting.)
Transfer and small payments: Council adopted a transfer ordinance that moves $4,000 from swimming pool equipment maintenance to swimming pool chemicals (so the pool can finish the season) and made then‑and‑now authorizations to pay vendors: $11,100 to iWork Systems Inc. and $2,603.12 to Walls Asphalt Manufacturing Inc.
Personnel and employee support: Council revised the personnel ordinance to add a part‑time legal assistant/victim‑witness coordinator and adopted an ordinance authorizing the hire and emergency clause so the position can begin promptly; Law Director Reaman said the caseload had roughly doubled and that Mandy Franks has been selected to fill the role. Council also approved an ordinance allowing employees to donate sick leave hours to co‑worker Nikki Monan.
Public‑health infrastructure: The council adopted an ordinance establishing requirements for inspection, replacement and elimination of lead and galvanized service lines within the city. The ordinance sets a process for identifying and replacing service lines to reduce lead exposure risk; the text was adopted by roll call after the council suspended rules.
Votes at a glance: Where roll‑call totals were recorded, most measures passed by recorded unanimous consent or clear majorities; the ODOT transit grant resolution recorded one abstention (Rogers) on final adoption.
Next steps: Service Director Delk said the city will move forward with projects tied to the appropriations and will provide additional financial details about donated funds when requested; staff will also schedule lead‑line project bidding and pre‑bid activities as described in the service‑director report.
