COMMENTS FROM THE MAYOR
Mayor Elumbaugh said due to shortage in the Cemetery Department and Animal
Control, the City hired a temporary employee to help in both departments. The new
employee, Nick Weathers is the stepson of one of the Cemetery employees who was on sick
leave when Mr. Weathers was hired. The City's handbook does not allow for an employee to
work under the direct supervision of a relative without the council's approval. The Mayor said
Mr. Weathers will be needed throughout the summer. The council approved keeping Mr.
Weathers through the summer to help in both departments.

There being no further business, Councilmember Smart moved that the meeting be
adjourned. Councilmember Matthews seconded and all voted for.
