Board approves minutes and May deal list; reinstates deputy-clerk hours
Summary
Trustees adopted the 04/15/2026 minutes, approved the May 2026 deal list (bills), and heard that the deputy clerk's hours were reinstated to 30 after budget clarification; the mayor and clerk exchanged differing accounts on who authorized hours changes.
The board approved the minutes from the April 15, 2026 regular meeting and voted to approve the May 2026 deal list of bills. Roll call showed the motions carried by the trustees present. Trustees also addressed a personnel item: the reinstatement of the deputy clerk’s office hours to 30 per week, which the mayor said had previously been reduced due to budget constraints but is now restored.
Trustees asked for clarification on who authorized earlier hour reductions; the mayor said the administrator had discretion when funds were not available and that the hours had been reinstated once the budget permitted. Members asked for clearer budget tracking and notification when personnel hours are adjusted in the future.
"The motion that's carried to approve the May 2026 deal list," the clerk announced after roll call. The board directed staff to provide contract and budget documentation related to personnel-hour adjustments and to ensure future changes come to the board for review when feasible.
