BURTON CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER APPOINTING FORMER MEMBER
The Burton City Council may welcome back a former member at its meeting this (Tuesday) evening.
The council will consider appointing Jeff Eckhardt to Position 3. Eckhardt was first elected in May 2016 and served for four years, opting in 2020 to not run for another term.
Eckhardt’s position was filled by Jason Schoenvogel, who himself chose not to seek re-election at the end of his term on May 7th.
The council will also consider a new contract with Jason Jaster for maintenance on city properties.
In addition, councilmembers will review several items relating to the city’s bank accounts. They will act on a transfer by check of all Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education (LEOSE) training money in the education fund to the Washington County Sheriff’s Office and closing the education fund bank account.
They will also decide on transferring the remaining fund balance in the bank accounts for the municipal court and police and road repair funds to the general fund and closing the old accounts. In addition, they will vote on transferring the balance in the technology and security funds to the savings account and closing those accounts.
Other action items tonight include:
- Potential approval of an ordinance correcting a previous ordinance which authorized and directed the mayor to abandon and convey a portion of Pecan Street adjacent to property owned by Dennis Gilpatrick.
- Accepting the audits of the seizure funds as required by the Code of Criminal Procedure for Fiscal Years 2020-21 and 2021-22.
The council will meet at 5:30 p.m. at Burton City Hall.
