Budgets and contracting with city employees on Alexander agenda

Two budgets and an ordinance are on the City of Alexander agenda for this Monday (January 22) night’s regular monthly meeting. The meeting begins at 6 PM in the courtroom at the City of Alexander City Hall.

Council members are expected to approve the amended budget for 2017. A proposed budget for 2018 is also on the agenda. By state law it must be approved before February 1.

A proposed ordinance, if approved, will allow the mayor to contract with city employees who are able to provide other services needed by the city. It also sets limits on employees who have a connection with businesses contracting with the city.

According to an E-mail from Office Manager JoAn Churchill the goal is to be able to, “L[l]egally hire an employee who has knowledge and expertise to do things like fixing a leaky faucet, or cleaning (janitorial) or doing tech work, etc., and already has access to the building.”

This month’s meeting is on the fourth Monday due to last week’s Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday. Alexander City Hall is on Highway 111, across from the post office. The public is invited to attend.
