The Constantine Village Council’s Personnel Committee has identified four “priority items” for Village Manager Mark Honeysett to address.

Trustee Bob Brewer, chairman of the committee, noted the items during the council meeting Monday evening (October 5th) while reviewing minutes from a committee meeting with Honeysett on September 30th.  Other committee members are Trustees Gary Mathers and Willie Harder.

Brewer said the meeting was called to discuss the “Active Issues and Action Plan” that had been drawn up at an earlier time.

The minutes and Brewer’s report listed 20 points and indicated the Personnel Committee “feels that the following items are of a priority:  energy audit, sewer infiltration, water well, and union negotiations.”
