North Judson Town Superintendent Addresses New State Board of Accounts Requirement

Town Superintendent Marshall Horstmann touched on a few different topics during his report at the North Judson Town Council meeting Monday Night.

He alerted council members that leaf and brush pick-up has officially concluded for this year and will resume in the spring.

Additionally, in Superintendent Horstmann’s report, members were told that the State Board of Accounts is requiring that the town take measures to better secure the modem tower located in Town Hall. Clerk-Treasurer Andrew Rowe explained that they had the option to either build an enclosure or install security cameras. Horstmann and Rowe both agreed that the enclosure would cost less and be more immediately feasible than a camera system. Horstmann expects the total cost for building supplies to be around $300.

Horstmann also presented council members with a request to allow water department employees in the office and at the plant to take the day off Friday. Horstmann explained that typically, the employees get two days off for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Since Christmas Eve falls on a Sunday, Horstmann suggested giving the employees tomorrow off instead. Council members unanimously approved the request.
