Powell council approves budget transfers, event waivers and contracts; untables and pays Powell Tribune claim

A series of routine and substantive items came before the Powell City Council and were decided by voice vote or motion during the meeting.

Among the actions: council approved a year-end budget amendment resolution, granted waivers for food trucks and open-container rules for summer events, accepted a final classification and compensation study, authorized a custodial-services contract, and ultimately removed from the table and paid a Powell Tribune claim after an earlier temporary tabling.
