(no roll‑call tally recorded in the excerpt). - Note: The consent discussion referenced purchases including an electrical line truck (ordered earlier) and other routine expenses.
Porta‑potty invoice for community race - Motion: "Get an invoice for the porta potty, and then we'll pay that invoice of $5,000 for the porta potty." - Mover: motion recorded in the transcript (mover not recorded by full name in the excerpt). - Vote/outcome: Motion carried (meeting recorded "Okay."). - Note: The invoice was connected to an upcoming community race event that council had been asked to support.
