Ada council’s agenda on Tuesday includes the second reading of the 2016 annual appropriations ordinance, plus several ordinances affecting the 2016 village calendar.
Those ordinances involve purchasing, services, and payroll expenses.
In action involving the Ada Municipal Swimming Pool, council will act to enter into an agreement for architectural planning services with the firm of Freytag and Associates, Inc.
Also, council will act on an agreement with the Ohio Department of Natural Resources whether to accept funding through the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program for pool renovations.
By Amy Eddings The Ada village council held a special meeting to take care of personnel issues on Tuesday.
Members approved the hiring of Justin Burris and Chris Kapa as temporary full-time construction and maintenance workers. They’ll be paid $9.62 an hour with no benefits, and the length of their employment will be from Nov. 12 to Jan. 23, 2016.
“We’re four people down in this area,” Mayor David Retterer said. “They’ll be doing leaf pickup and perhaps some snow plowing."
Reterrer said the former employees left for other jobs.
Ada council will hold a special meeting at 6:30 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 10, in council chambers according to Angela Polachek, village administrative assistant.
The purpose of the meeting concerns personnel. There is expected to be an executive session called for terms of employment, with action expected to follow.
A previously scheduled meeting of the Building and Grounds and Utilities committee is expected to follow adjournment of the special meeting.
News that the Village of Ada is facing a 19% increase in its employee health insurance premiums went down like cod liver oil at Tuesday night’s council meeting at the village’s offices.
Council members and Mayor David Retterer expressed dismay and alarm at Anthem’s new rates. Under the terms of the renewal, an unmarried Ada village employee with no children would see his or her rate go from $448 a month to $532 a month. A married village employee with two children would see their monthly cost jump from $1,382 to $1,642.
