Written & Oral Communication: Resident Ryan Price was present to follow up on his previous request about the broken outside faucet. FO Gullett advised she did not have billing information available but it was being gathered.
Resident Ed Beamer was present to follow up on questions from the last meeting. He had made a public records request showing when Dustin Allgyre was hired. He received a response that minutes would be available at this meeting. Solicitor Heyman explained that a public record is a document and that the minutes from the last meeting, being approved tonight, would be the document pertaining to his request. Some discussion was had on Allgyre’s hiring process. Mayor Frisch advised that there was some confusion after discussion during the last meeting in February which resulted in Council not being able to answer those questions at the last meeting. After the last meeting, they figured it out but weren’t looking to point fingers, as it was an honest mistake. Council approved Allgyre for hire at the last meeting.
