Fountain City Town Council of June 2, 2026

The Fountain City Town Council meeting held on June 2, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. The council approved a pay raise for a water treatment operator from $26 to $30 per hour with an annual $1 increase thereafter. They also accepted a contract renewal with Best Way for street services, noting it was the only bidder and included an option to renew to avoid frequent rebidding. The council reviewed quotes for purchasing a new salt box for street maintenance, ultimately approving the purchase from Hoosier Battery. Additionally, they discussed the need for repairs or replacement of the lift station control panel, deciding to table the issue until July to gather more information. The council also authorized acceptance of a donated law enforcement vehicle from Wayne County at no cost. Other topics included enforcement of ordinances related to neglected properties and horse aprons, as well as communication strategies for public notices. A motion to approve claims for payment was passed, and the meeting was adjourned.
