At the meeting the council approved the Jan. 13, 2025 minutes, adopted Ordinance 25-0113-1 on mayor and council compensation, changed an April meeting date (Resolution 25-0123-1), and reappointed Thomas Watson to the recreation board; a housing-board reappointment of Antonio Smith was recorded with limited detail.
The City Council voted on several routine items and appointments, approving minutes, an ordinance on elected-official compensation, a one-time meeting date change and two board reappointments.
The council approved the minutes from its Jan. 13, 2025 regular meeting after a motion by Councilor Barton and a second by Councilor Broughton. The minutes were adopted by unanimous roll-call vote: Councilor Watson — yes; Councilor Barton — yes; Councilor Brown — yes; Councilor Jennings — yes; Councilor Broughton — yes.
The council adopted Ordinance 25-0113-1 to approve compensation for the mayor and city council. Councilor Watson moved the ordinance; Councilor Barton seconded. The ordinance passed on a unanimous roll-call vote: Watson — yes; Barton — yes; Brown — yes; Jennings — yes; Broughton — yes.
Councilors also approved a one-time meeting date change from April 28, 2025, to April 21, 2025, under Resolution 25-0123-1. The motion was made by Councilor Watson and seconded by Councilor Broughton; the resolution passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
On appointments, Councilor Watson nominated Thomas Watson for a term on the Recreation Board; Councilor Barton seconded. The council reappointed Thomas Watson to the Recreation Board by unanimous roll-call vote. The transcript records a subsequent statement that the council would reappoint Antonio Smith to the Housing Board, but the meeting record does not include a recorded motion, second, or roll-call vote for that item in the transcript provided.
The council briefly noted an Angel of Hope statue project sponsored by a local garden club but deferred the group’s presentation to a future meeting because of weather.
