Corry City Council convened in special session Thursday afternoon and approved two key measures involving equipment and staffing for the city.
Council voted to purchase a used snow plow truck for $125,000, utilizing restricted funds for the acquisition. Officials indicated the truck will support the city’s winter road maintenance operations.
In a separate vote, council approved the hiring of a Map/GIS Coordinator at an annual salary of $62,400, plus $5,000 for the use of survey equipment. The position will also be funded through restricted funds and is expected to enhance the city’s geographic information systems, mapping accuracy, and infrastructure planning capabilities.
