(KNZA)--The Horton City Commission has approved a new employee recognition program, which includes longevity bonuses and kudos awards.
The action came at the commission's February 6 meeting.
According to the meeting minutes, taxes will be paid so the employee will receive the actual amount of the bonus.
Employees will be recognized during a commission meeting.
In other business, the commission approved a 48-month lease purchase agreement for the purchase of a new truck for the fire department.
The commission voted to accept a quote from GN Bank for a lease option with a 4.66 fixed rate to finance the purchase of 2002 GMC truck at cost of $49,000. Bids were received from two banks.
City Administrator John Calhoon informed commissioners that Nick Dowell was hired as the new city recreation coordinator and began his position February 1. Under a memorandum of understanding with USD 430, it had to be a school employee. Since its a new program, Calhoon recommended that Dowell hold a community meeting at the high school auditorium to clarify with parents what his intentions are.
