Hermitage City Recorder Resigns

One of the first orders of business for the June 17th Hermitage City Council meeting was the acceptance of the resignation of Recorder Daphne Hargis.  The council then approved the minutes of the May 2019 meeting and heard reports from the police department, fire department, water system, sewer system and animal control.  The financial report was presented and approved. The council was informed that 11 citations were issued in May and there were no fires.  Lab results were reported within allowable limits for "Primary Drinking Water Standards."  They were told the animal control pens need repairs.

The council  voted 3-0 to charge for city related activities and to purchase needed supplies and pay an instructor as needed.  Motion was made by Matt Huitt and seconded by Randy Gorman, Jr.
