Shirley Pavlovic reviewed the proposed budgets on the following
funds: Smokey Bear Enterprise Fund, Water Fund, and General Fund.
Water Supervisor, David Cox stated it was decided to leave the trucks
at the yard, except for the employee who is on call. He stated
the Village needs to build a new fence around the yard and include the
booster building in the fenced in area.
Salaries were discussed. It was decided to give the employees a
5% raise and give Steve Osborn a $1.00 per hour raise, and Cherie
Holmes a $.50 per hour raise.
A discussion was held on having to raise water rates due to the water
fund having a deficit balance for several years now. The Trustees
did not want to raise the water rates, but felt it was needed.
They all felt that it should have been done several years ago.
Mayor Hammons stated he would call a meeting of the Water Board next
week.
Trustee Payne made the motion to adjourn at 5:15 PM. Trustee
Davis seconded the motion, and all were in favor.
