Culver Town Council Considers Salary, Parking Lot Ordinance Amendments

The Culver Town Council members reviewed two ordinance amendments this week. 

One ordinance amends the salary for the EMS Director.  Town Manager Jonathan Leist said the new EMS Director, Jeff Koon, was offered a pay rate of $23 an hour with a cap at $23.50 an hour and that change needed to be reflected in the town’s salary ordinance.  The rules were suspended and the council members approved the ordinance amendment on all three readings. 

The council also approved an amendment to the parking regulations ordinance.  During the council’s last meeting in July, Culver Community School Superintendent Karen Shuman requested a parking change along Lake Shore Drive to accommodate an anticipated increase in parents dropping off and picking up students at the Culver Community Elementary School during the school year.  The council approved the request to include no parking on Lake Shore Drive in front of the school from 7:45 a.m. and 8:30 a.m., and between 2:45 p.m. and 3:30 p.m.  There will be no parking on Fridays during the school year from 1:45 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.  The rules were suspended and the council members approved the ordinance amendment on all three readings.
