CITY OF LENOX

A regular meeting of the Lenox City Council was called to order by Mayor Douglas on April 25, 2016 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall with the following council members answering roll call: Bowman, Adams, Vogel, and Custer; Borland was absent. Staff present included City Clerk, Dawne Bowman and City Attorney, James Varley. Other visitors were Ben French, Deputy Stenda and Allison Kitzman.

Bowman made a motion to approve the agenda, seconded by Custer, all aye, motion carried. Vogel made a motion to approve 4/11/16 meeting minutes, seconded by Bowman, all aye, motion carried. Adams made a motion to approve the payment of the bills, seconded by Custer, all aye, motion carried.

Deputy Stenda reported for the Sheriff's Department.

There was a discussion held on the repairs to City Hall. The Building Committee (Custer and Vogel) recommended we move forward on other options, rather than fixing the current building. Bowman suggested making City Hall water tight (foam or tin) until there is a plan for both the shop and the offices. The Council agreed to terminate the contract with Shuck- Britson. The Council agreed to move forward; however, Clerk Bowman will contact EMC to make sure they are in agreement with our decision, due to the past building inspection.

There was a discussion held on the repairs to the Depot. Several local contractors have been notified to prepare a bid for the floor repairs and a general estimate was given for tuck- pointing; however, Adams would like a list of all repairs needing done and more definite costs involved to complete these repairs, prior to asking for donations. This will be on the next agenda.

Adams made a motion to approve the renewal of the Wellmark Complete 3000B Plan effective June 1, 2016, seconded by Vogel, all aye, motion carried. Adams also noted that in the future the City may need to revisit the dollars that each employee is receiving to spend on extra benefits.
