Milford OKs 4 Ordinances
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
MILFORD - To finish the town's business for the year, the Milford Town Council approved four ordinances at a special meeting Monday.
The first ordinance was a salary amendment to pay the town's police officers who worked the "Click-it or Ticket" campaign. The funds come from the state and include $92.89, Louis Mediano; $232.24, Timothy Miller; and $139.34, Richard Miotto.
The second ordinance covers the 2003 salaries for the town employees. The annual compensation of the 2003 town council will be $3,500 each under the ordinance; clerk-treasurer, $34,488; town marshal, up to $42,864; utilities commissioner, up to $46,584; and town attorney, up to $2,500. The ordinance also covers deputy marshals, deputy clerk-treasurer, park wages, caretaker, security guards, park advisory board, assistant utilities commissioner, maintenance personnel, building commissioner and inspector and travel reimbursement of 33 cents per mile.
Along with the ordinance for salaries was an ordinance for the 2003 town appointments. The appointments included: David Hobbs, town marshal; Dallas Winchester II, utilities commissioner; Jay Rigdon, town attorney; and Troy Haines, fire chief.
Last ordinance approved provided for the encumbrance of appropriations. Those encumbrances included costs of $178.94, $276.30 and $2,000.
The town council also approved the accounts payable voucher.
In another issue, Winchester reported that the Indiana Department of Transportation wants to close three railroad crossings in Kosciusko County in exchange for crossing lights and gates at another railroad crossing. The three crossings INDOT wants to close are North and Emeline streets in Milford and Lyon Street in Warsaw. The crossing arms and gates would go up on First Street.
"It's a safety issue for the county," said Winchester.
Council chairman John Lehman said if anyone has any concerns about the matter, now is the time to contact the town council with their thoughts.
Before the meeting was adjourned, town councilman Robert Phillips said he couldn't say enough of how proud he is of the people who work for the town of Milford.
"I'm just proud of the way Milford is represented" by its employees, he said. Their dedication to the town was especially shown on Christmas Day, he said, when the town employees cleared the roads and took care of business when they'd probably rather be home with family.
Members of the Milford Town Council are Lehman, Phillips and Douglas Ruch. Their regular meetings are on the second Monday of every month in the town hall at 7 p.m. [[In-content Ad]]
