The Edgerton Village Council meeting, held on July 24, began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by a prayer from Mayor Robert Day.
Council members Leslie VanAusdale, Jason Gruver, Pam Wampler, Sharon Blinzler and Lance Bowsher were in attendance.
In the first order of business, council voted to table the meeting minutes from the July l8 meeting, until the next council meeting, on August 18.
Mayor Day then swore in the new Edgerton Police Chief, Kenneth Jacob. Jacob had served with the Williams County Sheriff’s office for the past 23 years.
In the administrator’s report, Dawn Fitzcharles stated that after successfully completing Module One Level, line worker Jeremy Wright has been promoted to Module Level Two. Wright must complete four Module Levels before he can become a Journeyman.
