Council approves hire of part‑time officer; transcript shows name inconsistency
Summary
The council approved hiring Artis Taylor as a part‑time police officer at $25/hour. The meeting minutes list Artis Taylor III in the agenda but the motion records "Artis Taylor II," an inconsistency flagged in the minutes.
The Mount Carroll City Council voted to hire Artis Taylor for a part‑time police officer position at a starting rate of $25.00 per hour. Alderman Doug Bergren moved the hire and Alderman Jeff Elliott seconded; the recorded vote was 6–0 in favor.
The minutes list the agenda item as "Hire Artis Taylor III as a Part-time Police Officer," but the motion recorded in open session reads, "Alderman Bergren made a motion to approve to hire Artis Taylor II and Alderman Elliott seconded." The council record does not include clarification in open session about which suffix is correct. The inconsistency is noted here for municipal records and to prompt confirmation in official personnel files.
