Metamora authorizes bid letting for demolition at 121 S. Niles and announces new public works hire
Summary
Trustee Nauman received consensus to authorize Farnsworth to proceed with bid letting for demolition at 121 S. Niles and the board announced a new full‑time Public Works hire, Baylor Steffen; minutes do not specify who made the announcement.
During the Public Works portion of the Feb. 18 meeting, Trustee Nauman asked for general consensus and received it to authorize Farnsworth to proceed with the bid letting for demolition of the property at 121 S. Niles.
The board also heard an announcement that Baylor Steffen will join the village as a full‑time public works employee. The minutes state "He announced the new hire, Baylor Steffen," but do not identify which official made that announcement; the article attributes the hire announcement to the Public Works Department where the minutes do not provide a named speaker.
The demolition authorization was recorded as a general consensus rather than a formal motion or recorded vote in the minutes. The minutes do not include estimated costs, a timeline for demolition, or a firm contractor award; they indicate only that Farnsworth was authorized to proceed to bid letting.
