Why this matters: Approving claims and writing off small unpaid accounts are routine financial controls that clear the utility’s books and allow operations and capital projects to proceed under ordinary financial procedures.
Votes and procedure: The meeting record shows voice votes and no roll‑call tallies were given in the transcript; the motions were announced as carried.
