New Business
1. Review request for pick-up truck for Lakes Project Coordinator.
Discussion took place in response to a memo from the Director of Planning regarding a pick-up
truck for the Lakes Project Coordinator. The vehicle is a 1989 Toyota pick-up truck that was
obtained by the Police Department through a court-ordered forfeiture. Mr. Sadowski has
estimated the initial cash outlay to be $1,000. Alderman Salentine moved to approve.
Alderman Sanders seconded; motion carried unanimously.
2. Discuss possible combination of positions - City Engineer/Building Inspection Director
The Mayor requested that the aldermen review the draft position descriptions that were
distributed. One is for an Engineer/Building Department Director and the other is for an
Engineering Tech. The Mayor stated it will be determined if any applicants from the existing
pool for either Engineer or Building Department Director positions could qualify for the
combined position. He would like to begin interviews the first week in July. This issue will be
placed on the June 17 Finance Committee agenda. The Mayor requested that anyone with
comments or concerns contact him. Alderman Patterson asked if the Engineering Tech
involved the hiring of a new employee. The Mayor responded no; it is the revision of an
existing position in the anticipation of an employee retiring in the next six months. The Mayor
also noted that the municipal code will have to be amended if the positions of City Engineer
and Building Inspection Director are combined into one position. He stated first reading of the
ordinance could be on the next Council (June 23) agenda. Alderman Slocomb moved to defer.
Alderman Salentine seconded; motion carried.
Voucher Approval
Alderman Salentine moved to recommend approval of General Fund vouchers in the amount
of $402,202.86, Tax Checks in the amount of $823.09, and Utility Vouchers in the amount of
