Council adopts budget in second reading, waives tipping fees for demolition and hires clubhouse worker
Summary
At a meeting, councilors approved the second reading of ordinance 2024-03 (the 2024 budget), voted to waive tipping fees so a resident can demolish a long‑vacant house at 708 South Cherry, and approved hiring Gail Letcher to work out of the clubhouse; an executive session was scheduled for personnel and contract matters.
A local governing meeting approved the second reading of ordinance 2024-03, the town's 2024 budget, and carried several administrative motions including a waiver of tipping fees to allow a resident to demolish a vacant house and the hiring of a clubhouse worker.
During the meeting the Chair called for a second reading of ordinance 2024-03. A member moved to approve the ordinance; the motion was seconded and members voting 'aye' carried the measure. The council did not provide a roll-call tally mapping each name to votes in the transcript; the motion was announced as carried following the vocal affirmation.
A resident asked the council to waive the town's landfill/tipping fee for debris removal related to demolishing a vacant house at 708 South Cherry. "I'm just here to inform you that it's my intention to remove the house directly south of us at 708 South Cherry," the resident said. Council members discussed permit and utility steps and directed the resident to coordinate with Dewey for timing and debris placement; a motion to waive the fees was made, seconded and approved.
The council also moved to hire Gail Letcher to work out of the clubhouse. A motion to hire was made and seconded; the Chair called for the ayes and the hire was approved.
The meeting closed routine business by scheduling the next meeting for September 17 and moving to enter executive session to discuss personnel and contract negotiation matters under cited code sections. The motion to enter executive session was seconded and approved.
Notes: the transcript records voice votes and affirmative 'aye' responses but does not provide a definitive roll-call mapping for each action or full vote tallies; where the transcript lacks a named mover or second, the article does not invent those attributions.
