Minerva Board expands Youth Program hires, adds CPR requirement
Summary
The Minerva Town Board approved expanded weeks for counselors in the Minerva Youth Program and added a minimum Basic Life Support CPR requirement for hires, voting unanimously on the amendment.
The Minerva Town Board on July 3 approved an amendment to staffing for the Minerva Youth Program that allows certain counselors to work additional weeks and requires a minimum certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
Motion #184, introduced and seconded during the meeting, amended the previously approved hires for the Youth Program and specified that counselors must "minimally require a successful completion of Basic Life Support CPR." The listed hires and wages included Kayla Gonyo, Breah Blake and Macaylin Taylor, each with individual week and account allocations. The roll-call vote was recorded as Aye — McNally, McCall, Dubay, LaBar, Fish; Nay — none (Carried 5-0).
Board officials said the change was intended to align staff training with safety expectations for youth programming over the summer. The motion passed without modification; no public opposition or alternative proposals were recorded during the discussion.
The board did not specify enforcement steps or whether the town would pay for CPR training; those operational details were not specified in the minutes.
