Vinita City Council approves consent agenda; Amber Canole introduced as interim city clerk
Summary
The Vinita City Council approved two consent-agenda items — minutes from the Jan. 21 Vinita Utility Authority meeting and the BUA Jan. 25 bills payable — and introduced Amber Canole as interim city clerk. A council member asked about a new exterminator and was told the vendor changed ownership but has the same manager.
Vinita City Council approved its consent agenda during the meeting, adopting minutes from the Jan. 21 Vinita Utility Authority meeting and approving the BUA Jan. 25 bills payable. The body also introduced Amber Canole as interim city clerk and noted Mayor Lee was absent.
The council took roll call before the consent votes. Multiple members answered present: Councilmember Wofford; Councilmember Tyler; Councilmember Swift; Councilmember Hoskins; Councilmember Lehi; Councilmember Langford; Councilmember Riley; Councilmember Young. President Bridal opened the meeting and said Mayor Lee was in training and unable to attend; Skip Riley was designated to lead the session.
A motion to approve the Jan. 21 VUA minutes was made and seconded; the council voted to approve the minutes. Later the council moved and seconded approval of the BUA Jan. 25 bills payable; the motion carried. The transcript does not record an itemized roll-call vote or a numerical tally for either motion.
During a brief exchange after the bills vote, a council member asked about a listed new exterminator. A speaker replied, “It's the same company they just sold. Wow. The same lady still running,” indicating the vendor changed ownership but that the same manager remains.
The meeting proceeded with no public comments recorded at the start of the session and no items removed from the consent agenda. The council noted it will continue to work with Amber Canole in the interim clerk role while President Bridal transitions off the dais.
