Girard council hears resident’s unpaid‑invoice claim, approves golf‑course work plan and holds executive sessions
Summary
A resident told the council he has not been paid for golf‑course cart‑path work; the council added the item to the next agenda, assigned golf‑course improvements to Public Works, and held two executive sessions on personnel and an easement negotiation.
A Girard resident told the city council on April 6 that he has not received final payment for work he says he completed on the municipal golf course, prompting the council to add the matter to the next meeting agenda for follow up.
During public comment, resident Travis Stoldt said he installed about a half‑mile of cart paths and submitted a final bill in December 2025, and asked why the city had not issued final payment. Council members said they would consider the matter and placed it on the next meeting’s agenda for further review.
Under regular business the council also addressed several golf‑course needs — including HVAC, a prep table, lighting and pump‑house work — and voted to proceed using a block structure with the Public Works department in charge of implementation (motion by Lucas Stansbury; second by Morgan Johnson; motion carried).
The council additionally entered two executive sessions: one to discuss a nonelected personnel matter tied to a contract negotiation for an easement (the transcript describes the easement wording as 'stainless steel' mile), and a second to discuss a part‑time personnel disciplinary issue. The mayor recalled the council to open session after each executive session; no action was recorded on the public record following those sessions. The transcript records the recommended attendees for the executive sessions as the mayor, council members, the city attorney, the city administrator and the Public Works Director.
Council Member Morgan Johnson used the closing comment period to thank city employees, remind residents that the local storm shelter is at Haderlein Elementary School (west entrance, door No. 7, basement) and caution drivers because children are playing outdoors. Council Member John Leigh reminded residents the citywide cleanup is set for April 24–25; Council President Darrell Wethoff encouraged patience as the soon‑to‑start water project begins.
The meeting adjourned at 6:30 p.m.
