The meeting began with the approval of their meeting minutes from both their May 20, 2025 meeting and their June 2, 2025, special session meeting.
Brian Wenning, Decatur County Commissioner provided an update on the hiring process for the EMA Director position. A total of 16 applications were received, and the board selected six candidates for interviews, with five ultimately participating. One individual, referred to as applicant #1, was identified as the top choice. The 2025 budgeted salary for the position is $53,650; however, the board would like to offer $55,000. The funding for this increase is included in the budget already as the Director position has been vacant for approximately a month already. The increase in the salary would need to be added to begin in 2026. The council approved this request to increase that salary as requested.
The council approved all transfers and additionals.
