Summary

Trustees approved the formal hire of Christopher Bracero to fill a shared interdepartmental mechanic position (highway and water/wastewater) at a starting rate of $25/hour after satisfactory background and driving‑record 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.

Trustees approved the motion to hire Christopher Bracero (starting pay cited as $25 per hour) and noted a six‑month probationary period. The position will be shared between highway and water/wastewater divisions; details about payroll and start date will be handled by the superintendent and clerk.
