Board hires two lifeguards; minutes note one is councilmember’s daughter
Summary
The board approved hiring two lifeguards at $21.50/hour, including Claire Fish (hires retroactive to 8/28/25), whom the minutes identify as Councilmember Scott Fish's daughter. The hiring resolution passed 5-0.
The Town of Minerva authorized the hire of two lifeguards: Darian Fonda and Claire Fish, each at a wage of $21.50 per hour from account A71801.05. The hires were recorded as retroactive (Darian to 8/23/25; Claire to 8/28/25). The motion (No. 232) was moved by Keith Dubay, seconded by Douglas McCall, and carried 5-0.
The minutes explicitly state that "Claire is the daughter of Scott Fish." The board recorded the familial relation but did not record any recusal, abstention, or additional discussion about conflict-of-interest protocols during the vote. The minutes therefore record the hire and the disclosed relationship but do not show any board action to address potential nepotism concerns.
