(KNZA)--A Horton Public Works employee was recognized for his dedication and service during the Horton City Commission’s July 6th meeting.
Public Works employee Brent Shaffer received both a KUDOS Award and a 10-year service award from Mayor Bryan Stirton. Shaffer was presented the KUDOS Award by the commission for “going above and beyond” in his work with the city.
Officials noted that Shaffer had been on call for the electric department every day for the past year and was always willing to do whatever it took to get the job done. The commission thanked him for his hard work and dedication to the city.
In other business, Public Works Superintendent Randy Mayfield presented a proposal from Approved Paving for chip sealing approximately 23 blocks of city streets. The commission approved the proposal in the amount of $59,300.
The commission also approved a 50-cent-per-hour raise for Code Enforcement Officer Andrew Patterson following his annual evaluation. The raise will take effect on Patterson’s anniversary date.
Following an executive session, commissioners voted to end the Interim Police Chief designation effective immediately. William Entrikin had been serving in that role. The commission appointed Entrikin as Assistant Chief and approved a $1,500 bonus for his service as Interim Chief, noting that he had not previously received additional compensation for the position.
