The Bourbon Town Council made a number of changes during their first meeting of 2020. New board member, Ward Byers, was elected president. Byers officially took office on January 1.
The board voted unanimously to approve Alex Hoover as the town attorney. Hoover is from the Nappanee office of Walter Law Office.
All department heads were reappointed to their supervisory roles: Water Superintendent, Steve Stacy; Street Superintendent, Roger Terry; Waste Water Superintendent, Steve Stacy; and Zoning/Building Commissioner, Bill Keyser.
Byers added an item to the agenda at the end of the meeting. He said they wanted to give each department head a “point of contact” by naming council members as liaisons. Department heads will now communicate with their liaison first and if necessary, the entire board will be notified by the liaison.
P.J. Hanley will act as the point of contact for both the Street Department and Zoning; Les Mc Farland will serve as the liaison for Utilities; and Ward Byers will be the contact for the Police Department.
