Milford Recognizes Lions Club

By Jordan Fouts-
Council last month declared July Milford Lions Club Month. They presented a plaque to the service organization Monday, which was accepted by club President Tom Sorenson.
Council President Bob Cockburn told club members the town appreciates everything they do, not just their work on Milford Fest.
Also Monday, council approved the hiring of Mark Brubaker as water treatment plant operator beginning July 28. Brubaker, who has previously held the position, replaces Mike Clark, who resigned last month after taking the job in January.
And with the retirement of 14-year reserve officer Ken Pearson, council gave Town Marshall Rich Miotto the OK to hire two new reserve officers. Miotto said that will bring the department up to its full complement of six, which it has not had for a while.
Council also discussed a dangerous dog policy after Miotto reported that there have been three dog bites in town in the past month and a half. Dogs will be deemed dangerous if they bite a human twice or kill another dog, requiring the owner to apply for a license from the town and post a warning sign where the dog is kept.
And Miotto said a driveway paving scam was recently reported in town but stopped before the homeowner handed over the cash. He advised residents to scrutinize any unexpected offers for asphalting or tree cutting.
Council later had their first look at the 2015 budget, a total of $1,684,402 which, after a general fund decrease of $20,523 to $707,419 and motor vehicle highway increase of $15,859 to $336,983, is $4,664 lower than this year’s. All other funds remain the same.
And council approved purchases Monday including $2,584 for 144 new street signs, which will mark streets as north or south and east or west; and $2,602 for a metal awning over the back door and window of the community building.[[In-content Ad]]
