Duties to shift following resignation of secretary

LISBON — Village Council is being asked to consider restructuring the duties of the mayor’s secretary following the resignation of Alisa Hall.

Hall, who has served as secretary for the past five years, submitted her resignation letter to council, affective July 3. She is quitting to take a full-time job at Farmers National Bank.

The job of mayor’s secretary was made part-time to save money, and in addition to those duties, Hall also served as zoning board secretary, responsible for taking care of permit applications and all of the related paperwork. Village Fiscal Officer Tracey Wonner told council during the work session held prior to this week’s council meeting that now may be the time to consider creating a separate zoning board secretary to lighten the load for the new mayor’s secretary, who still has plenty to do.

Hall, who was in attendance, estimated during construction season 75 percent of the her time is spent processing building applications and issuing permits. Wonner said the zoning secretary’s duties will likely increase once the village’s stepped up efforts to enforce its building and maintenance code gathers steam as part of Mayor Joseph Morenz’s plant to revitalize the downtown business district.

Council and Mayor Morenz thanked Hall for her years of service. Hall said she would help train her replacement.

The council personnel committee is to be meet 5 p.m. Monday to begin interviewing candidates to replace Hall.

In other action:

— Council issued a proclamation in honor former mayor, Gary Hall, who died June 12. Hall also served on council at one time. Attending were his son, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren.

— Council hired Roger Sweeney of Lisbon as the new part-time worker in the street department. Sweeney was chosen from three applicants, and he will work 29 hours per week.

— Council agreed to purchase a used roller from Robin Houlette for $2,700. Councilman Jerry Cox said the eight-ton roller was test-used by the village, and they were well pleased.

— A parking ban in the town square will be in effect from 4 to 7 a.m. July 11 while the streets are cleaned by the company hired to sweep the streets clean of debris.

— Council agreed to purchase a new speed radar system for one of the police cruisers at a cost of $1,574, with the Lisbon Police Auxiliary paying half.
