Board authorizes $250 reimbursement to Director for on-call smartwatch
Summary
The Carbon Cliff Board approved reimbursing Director Nick Gottwalt $250—half the reported cost of a smartwatch—so he can remain reachable while on call; the reimbursement was recorded under new business on Oct. 1, 2024.
At the Oct. 1 meeting Trustee Robert Dreher suggested the village reimburse Director Nick Gottwalt for 50% of a recently purchased smartwatch to ensure he can be reached while on call. The minutes state the Village President authorized a reimbursement of $250.00 to Director Gottwalt.
The board recorded the authorization under new business; the minutes explain the smartwatch is intended to allow contact when the director "has no phone" (e.g., during meetings, conferences, or personal time). The reimbursement was noted as an administrative authorization rather than part of payroll or recurring compensation.
