Newly elected council members, Charles Keyes and Randy

HIGHWAY DEPT- Tim
Grieve- Mower Purchase- had 5000 hours on it. This is the second mower to
go down that is that old. These are machete boom mowers. Zimmer tractor did not
bid – they were $20,000 higher on the first mower. Smith Implement $114,410 and
is a little over $4000 more than they bid on the first mower. These are
tractors from 1999. There are new rules on emissions also from the EPA. Barrett
wanted it tabled until Dec 11th meeting and they want him to get
some more bids. Messmore said he had no trouble with this now as it was
comparable and compared to three other bids from the first mower. Council
approved the mower.
Todd Listerman-presented by Grieve-
Encumbering funds for Bridge #102 on North Dearborn Road by creekside
Subdivision for $442,210.11. They plan to do it in May and finish in August so
less hassle for school busses. Approved.
COMMUNICATIONS 911-
Charles Ashley- Replace 2 VHF
antennas that are water damaged on Pribble Road water tank. Mobilcom found the
problem when they did diagnostics on them. $2615 to diagnose it. Repair was
$10,518. Turned it into county’s insurance and in October they denied it
because they were not on the declarations page for our insurance. There are
also antennas on the Dillsboro tank- they are checking to see if those are
listed. The ones on Henderson Rd were covered for lightning strike. Randall is
auditing the insurance files for renewal per Gayle Pennington. Approved. They will
also see that they get all equipment listed for coverage.
VETERANS SERVICES-
Mike Burgess- transfer funds to DC veteran’s transportation fund- vehicles
that were previously donated and sold at auction netted $4653. He wants to have
those funds returned to their fund. Approved.
Asked for supplemental for burial funds. He said he will be
returning about 2/3 of the $30,000 funds requested as deaths have decreased.
JUVENILE CENTER-
Traci Agner- part-time wages $14,300 and overtime holiday pay $3,000. They
are operating in the red now. Pennington said the report wasn’t run last month
and so it got by them. This was all due to someone getting hurt and two people
leaving employment and had to be paid out. Messmore noted they had a lot of part-timers. Council approved both
requests.
HEALTH DEPARTMENT- Dr
Scudder- wage issue- Over the years, food inspection has fallen to just two
food inspectors. The male’s pay is ahead of the female’s pay. They have equal
jobs. The male pay has gone up about $6,000. He wants to have equal pay for
equal work. He intends to even this up with grants etc. This started back in
1998 or 1999. The male has 5 year’s seniority. Kraus wants to send this to the
personnel committee to look through this. Council agreed. Tabled for the committee
to look into this.
PARK BOARD- Steve Walker- fencing at Gladys Russell Park-
tabled as no one from Park Board was present.
Meeting adjourned at 7:03 PM
