Summary
At its Sept. 10 meeting the Muncie City Council approved minutes from Sept. 3 and a register of claims totaling $897,992; City Controller Craig Wright said higher utility and paving bills, including an Indiana Michigan Power invoice of over $40,000, increased the total.
The Muncie City Council on Sept. 10 approved the minutes of its Sept. 3 meeting and a register of claims totaling $897,992.
City Controller Craig Wright told the council he had sent the claims the previous afternoon and said the total was “a little lengthy” because of utilities, credit-card charges and larger paving bills. Wright singled out a payment to Indiana Michigan Power for traffic signals and streetlights that he said was “over $40,000.”
The council voted to approve the Sept. 3 minutes and then moved to approve the register of claims. A motion to approve the claims was made and seconded; the council called the vote, with members responding “aye,” and the motion carried. The transcript does not identify which members made or seconded the motion or record a roll-call tally.
No one represented an item listed under new business, and the council tabled that item. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
The approvals release funds for the city’s regular operations and payables, including street and traffic-signal work and vendor invoices; the transcript did not specify which paving projects or the full list of vendors covered by the claims.
