Council hires two part‑time officers; tables garbage-day change and Davis Center employee discount
Summary
The Council approved hiring Ryan Guenzler and Justin Hackbarth as part‑time police officers, tabled Republic Services' request to change garbage pickup from Tuesday to Wednesday pending resident feedback, and tabled a proposal to implement an employee discount for Davis Community Center rentals.
Council approved the hiring of two part‑time police officers, Ryan Guenzler and Justin Hackbarth, after a motion by Alderman Doug Bergren and second by Alderman Jeff Elliott; the motion passed by roll call with five yeses and one absence.
Separately, Republic Services asked the city to move the weekly garbage collection day from Tuesday to Wednesday. Alderman Risko asked that resident feedback be sought; the Council voted to table the request. A proposal to implement an employee discount for room rental at the Davis Community Center drew concern from Alderman Risko, who questioned the fiscal wisdom of reducing revenue while trying to make the Center profitable. Mayor Bates said he had not consulted Director Bandemer and that the city historically offered a discount for the Kraft Building, noting, "I thought we would continue that discount at the Davis Center." The Council tabled the employee-discount item to the Finance Committee for further review (motion passed 3 yes, 2 no, 1 absent).
