The Powell City Council approved a package of routine administrative items including bills and claims, a contract extension, debt certification, surplus property declarations and airport grants.
Bills and claims: The council approved bills and claims totaling $845,439.08. One council member abstained on item number 54 (the Powell Tribune). The motion to approve the bills and claims carried.
Rocky Mountain Car Wash agreement: Council approved a 10-year extension of an agreement with Rocky Mountain Car Wash for a sign on city property.

Staff said items will be offered through the state government surplus auction site; special handling was noted for certain items such as suppressors, which require separate legal processes.
Airport grants: The council authorized staff to accept and sign necessary documents for a maintenance grant for the AWOS automated weather observing system administered through the Wyoming Department of Transportation (WYDOT). The city share was listed as $747 and WYDOT's share $3,736 for the annual agreement.

Ordinance on second reading: The council approved ordinance number 2-20-25 on second reading; no substantive discussion of the ordinance text was recorded in the public remarks beyond the motion and vote.
