South Range council approves seasonal part-time Public Works position starting this winter

The Village of South Range Council voted to post a seasonal, part-time Public Works position effective mid-November through mid-April, with a starting wage of $24.00 per hour and a requirement of a Class B commercial driver’s license.

The motion was made by Trustee Justin Marier and seconded by Trustee Justin Balma and carried by roll call (Ayes: President Eakin, Trustee Korby, Trustee Hill, Trustee Parolini, and Trustee Harkonen). The action responds to the department’s transition into winter operations and follows the Personnel Committee’s recommendation to repost a temporary Public Works position on a part-time basis.

The Council directed Public Works to prepare a prioritized equipment list for next year’s budget and asked staff to document incidents involving equipment damage or injury; a special meeting to discuss director interviews is scheduled for Oct. 6, 2026.
