Summary

Trustees unanimously approved December payables (corrected to $298,239.75), Motor Fuel Tax resolutions for two prior projects totaling $232,749.67, and hired two probationary firefighters — Collin Beddingfield and Bruce Williams — each for one-year probationary terms.

At the Jan. 8 meeting trustees approved routine financial and personnel actions. Trustee Christina Butler moved to approve December payables and noted a correction to the amount: "could be changed to the correct amount of $298,239.75," which the board approved by roll call vote.

Two Motor Fuel Tax (MFT) resolutions were approved under the Illinois Highway Code: Sec. 09-00020-00-RS in the amount of $40,005.17 (East Vandalia project) and Sec. 05-00018-01-FP in the amount of $192,744.50 (Sequoia project). Treasurer Mindy Olson said these are paperwork items required by IDOT to close out prior projects and that no MFT funds would be drawn for current operations.

The board also unanimously approved hiring Collin Beddingfield and Bruce Williams as probationary firefighters for one year. Assistant Fire Chief Dave Salcido said Beddingfield is employed at Beardstown Fire Department, lives in Jacksonville and is an EMT; Williams works at GTSI and recently returned from military service.
