Cold Spring board moves to formally hire shared highway/water mechanic after background checks

The board moved to convert a previously authorized conditional offer into a formal hire for the shared interdepartmental mechanic position. The chair read the recommendation from Superintendent Krug and the crew chief, noting a background and driving‑record check had already been completed and returned satisfactorily. “Since Thursday, all those checks have been done and have returned satisfactory,” the chair said as the board prepared to complete the formal hiring step.
