Finance Commission Meeting 09\/15:<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\nAdministrator Fitzcharles gave the update about the recent Finance Committee meeting held on 9\/15\/2023. Topics of discussion were 2023 budget items in progress as well as the projected 2024 budget items; health insurance, property and risk management insurance, proposed developments, and 2024 capital plans. On October 4th when the Wage and Comp Committee meets, we will schedule additional budget meetings with council and committees.<\/p>\n Part Time General Laborer<\/u><\/strong>: Recently our part time general laborer resigned and went to work for Village of Montpelier which left an open position. Council previously authorized advertisement for this position. We found a candidate to present to Council. Justin Thiel lives in Edgerton, graduated from Edgerton High School, has experience operating chain saws, brick laying and other equipment. Formerly, Justin was a firefighter in Edgerton. He specifically desires part time as he already has a fulltime position on weekends. Justin job shadowed with us and we feel he would be a great fit for the team. The recommendation to council is to hire Justin as probationary part time general laborer, not to exceed 29 hours per week, at proposed rate of pay of $15.80 per hour effective 9\/20.<\/p>\n\n- Motion to hire Justin Thiel as probationary part-time general laborer @ $15.80 effective 9\/20\/23:<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

Phase I, a Storm Sewer upsize, was completed in 2018. Phase II was completed last year when we did the sidewalk project. Phase III is on the radar as we received funding through the community block grant for road resurfacing. We are going to resurface Oak Street from East River to East Indiana Street. We have been funded at 100% from East River to East Hull Street at about $154,000. In order to meet time frames when money is available, we\u2019d like to have this project out for bid in March to get on contractor\u2019s schedule early with construction period from June 1- Aug 15 to avoid school traffic. With provisions of the grant, we need to contract an engineer for services including preconstruction, bid documentation and design. The proposal to council is to go with OHM Advisors for $18,000. This is a new company but an engineer that we\u2019ve worked with before. The current agreement is in draft form. Chris Walker will review terms and conditions. The village admin would like permission to move forward with OHM Advisors for the engineering of the Oak Street Resurfacing Project.<\/p>\n\n- Motion to move forward with OHM Advisors for the Oak Street Resurfacing Project: <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
