CEYLON — The Ceylon City Council has approved several items, including hiring a temporary city employee while the city transitions between workers. The council approved a three-thousand-25-dollar bid from P-T-S Contractor to remove dead trees and stumps and also approved transferring funds to pay for city shop roof repairs. The proposed 2027 city levy is 262-thousand dollars. The levy can be lowered before the final budget is approved in December, but it cannot be increased. The council also renewed the Lake Belt Bar and Grill’s liquor license but denied a request to build a patio near the bar. In fire department business, the council approved a 6-thousand-500-dollar offer for a trailer owned by the fire association. The department is also considering additional equipment and will now charge for all calls, whether or not a patient is transported. The council also discussed holding another community swap meet next spring.
