Retired Judge C. Douglas Chamberlain administered the oath of office to new Huntsville Village Council members Brenda Jenkins and Robin Jenkins and Mayor William H. Jenkins ahead of the first meeting of 2016 on Tuesday evening.
Lori Fisher, Deb Anderson and Robin Jenkins were appointed to the finance committee and Ben Frey, Jean Cotterman and Brenda Jenkins to the street committee. Ms. Anderson will serve as council president. Ben Frey and Lori Fisher were assigned to the Volunteer Fire Fighters’ Dependents Fund board.
Looking at this year’s agenda, Mayor Jenkins said catch basins will need to be addressed. Streets are in pretty good shape, he said, except maybe Neal Street. The village also will seek grants for fire equipment and a few other items the village needs.
The mayor also reiterated that cleaning off sidewalks is the responsibility of the property owner or renter; requested the use of cell phones be banned during council meetings; and declared his intent to address semi tractor-trailer parking at village parks.
