The Oglesby City Council will meet Monday, Aug. 18, to consider several financial and operational items, including paramedic pay, equipment purchases and upcoming events.

Council members will weigh purchasing a VFD pump for Well No. 3 at a net cost of $40,362.46 after a grant from the Illinois Municipal Electric Agency.

Other business includes appointments to city boards, approval of an ordinance setting wages and benefits for two full-time paramedics, and placing on file a dual metering ordinance. Mayor Jason Curran also plans to provide an update on the upcoming We Are Oglesby Car Show.

New business includes approving up to $13,500 in travel expenses for eight officials to attend next month’s Illinois Municipal League Conference, discussion on additional storage for city equipment and materials and a recognition presentation.

The council is also scheduled to enter executive session to discuss personnel matters.
