BENTON, IL – (William McPherson – Benton Gazette. Please Click to read the full story. Here is an excerpt)
Public Safety Commissioner Don Storey had two purchase orders approved during his section of the council meeting. One was for two 2017 Ford Explorer Police Interceptors which were approved for purchase at $27,750 each for a total of $55,500 to be taken out of the capital improvements fund.
The other was for a fence around the generator at the new police department coming out of the new building fund. Labor for the project was donated by police and fire, leaving building materials the only cost which came to $957.77 from Stotlars in Benton.
Mayor Kondritz thanked Commissioners Story and Justin Wyant for working together for the recent improvements to the new Police Station, specifically improvements to the parking lot. They added that they plan to work on the alleys by the new Police Department later this Summer.
The council went into executive session to discuss a personal matter but took no action.
