Litchfield City Council Meeting

The Litchfield City Council has approved of advertising for a couple of positions. One of those positions is the Office Lead – the former office supervisor position, and the other position is a new one – City Planner. The Council approved of the job descriptions for both of those positions last night.

The Council also approved of a construction manager request-for-proposal as part of the state historic building grant process. The selection criteria matrix was also approved. City Administrator Dave Czoik says this step is needed so that they can proceed with estimates and meet with the property owners. He says, in the future, a public hearing will be held to reveal the amounts for each property as the façade improvement program proceeds in downtown Litchfield.

The Council approved of a certificate of appropriateness application last night from the Heritage Preservation Commission for John Braun/Blind Pig Aviation for a second story window project at 215 North Sibley Avenue. The Council also approved of the airport being used for the 2nd annual Pistons and Props event on August 8th.

Also last night, the Litchfield City Council approved of an additional 4 hoops at the Litchfield Area Recreation Center – and the boys and girls basketball clubs will be asked if they are willing to use their $20,000 donation towards that project; approved of the purchase of a pick-up from Davis Motors for the wastewater department; approved of the purchase of two Dodge Durangos from Litchfield Automotive; and reappointed Jared Culbertson to the Litchfield Police Commission.
