Votes at a glance
- Meeting schedule and frequency: Motion to keep the regular meeting schedule on the first and third Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. was moved and approved by roll call. Recorded “yes” responses include Doctor Miller, Mister Messina, Mister Saint Columbian and Miss Davis among others.
- Rules of order: Council moved to adopt a municipal-league-style rules-of-order (a simplified alternative to Robert’s Rules). The motion received a second and the clerk recorded a roll-call vote in favor; multiple members voted yes and the motion carried.
- Banking resolution (change of signatory): Council approved a banking resolution to replace Diane Tyler (retired) with Sandra Clatsch as a bank signatory for city accounts; the clerk recorded the roll call and members voted yes.
- Minutes (Dec. 17): The council approved the minutes of the Dec. 17 meeting; the clerk called the roll and recorded yes votes.
- Holidays: Council approved the proposed 2025 holiday schedule (New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King/Dr. King Day, Presidents Day, etc.) as printed in the packet; roll call recorded yes votes.
- Payroll resolution: A proposal to change payroll frequency (discussion of biweekly vs. semimonthly or other options) was discussed and ultimately tabled to a future meeting for additional review; the transcript records motion to table.
Notes: For several items the clerk conducted a roll call and individual yes votes appear in the transcript, but the formal, line-by-line tallies for some votes were not transcribed in full. The city clerk’s official minutes should be consulted for certified vote counts and precise motion language.
