Angola council approves mayor pro tem, Title VI plan and vouchers; minutes accepted

The City of Angola Common Council took four routine actions at its Jan. 6 meeting: it elected a mayor pro tem for 2025, adopted the city's annual Title VI implementation resolution, approved the Dec. 16 meeting minutes and approved an accounts payable voucher batch.

Council member Olson was nominated and elected mayor pro tem for 2025 by voice vote after nominations were opened and closed. The meeting record shows a motion, a second and a voice vote; the roll call or individual named votes were not recorded in the transcript. The council chair announced the passage by voice: “All those in favor signify by saying aye.”

The council adopted Resolution No. 2025885, described by staff as the city's annual Title VI implementation plan tied to federal nondiscrimination obligations dating to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Amanda presented the resolution and said it is required "to get federal funding, we have to show that we're following all of this and we're doing our due diligence in, both ADA and Title 6." A motion to adopt the resolution was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

The council also approved the minutes of the Dec. 16 meeting and received for information the minutes of the Dec. 2 Board of Public Works and Safety meeting. The transcript shows a motion and second for the Dec. 16 minutes and a subsequent voice vote approving them.

Finally, the council approved an accounts payable voucher batch described in the meeting as voucher numbers 72,10101 through 72,360, totaling $931,786.76. A motion and second were recorded and approved by voice vote.

The council did not record individual roll-call tallies in the transcript for these items; the meeting record reflects voice votes with the chair calling for “ayes.”
