Board approves $520,000 road repairs and several personnel resolutions
Summary
The town board approved a $520,000 highway infrastructure plan targeting specific streets, accepted multiple personnel actions (reclassifications, hires and appointments), and carried a motion to pay bills; members discussed licensure and pay-scale questions for water/wastewater posts and agreed to seek additional facts on an administrative raise via executive session.
The board approved a highway-infrastructure resolution that identified a $520,000 plan to repair State Street, Ridge Street, Blackfoot Road and Boston Avenue; the resolution included a shared-truck approach to stretch resources. "We have picked the roads that most need to repair, spend $520,000," the chair said when introducing the item.
Councilors also approved multiple personnel items: reclassification of a vacant MEO to a laborer position, hiring of Austin Hartsell for public works, and appointment and discussion of pay scales for water/wastewater positions. Board members raised logistical questions about whether to appoint a chief plant operator or a deputy and discussed licensure and backup arrangements; several members asked to table or gather more facts on pay adjustments and said they would go into a short executive session to clarify a proposed $7,000 increase for a department leader.
The meeting concluded routine business by approving transfer-of-funds motions and authorizing payment of bills after a brief discussion about animal-control boarding and contract obligations. Multiple motions carried on voice votes recorded by the clerk.
