Summary
At its Nov. 18 meeting the Hollywood Park City Council approved adding Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Gonzalez and city secretary Janet/Jeanette Huggins as bank signers, adopted a FY24–25 budget amendment reallocating $85,000 (no net change to total budget), and approved the consent agenda with minutes amended for typos.
Hollywood Park’s City Council voted on several routine financial and administrative matters during its Nov. 18 meeting.
Bank signers: The council approved a motion to add Mayor Pro Tem Wendy Gonzalez and Janet (also spelled Janette/Jeanette in the record) Huggins as authorized signers on the town’s PlainsCapital Bank checking account and to remove William D. Randall as a signer. Council members said the change was required by the bank and motivated by internal-control considerations (separating bill-paying and check-signing duties). The motion was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote; the transcript records the ayes but individual roll-call tallies were not specified.
Budget amendment: Council considered and approved an ordinance amending the Town of Hollywood Park FY24–25 budget to reallocate $85,000 from a 'transfers out' line to cover department shortfalls. The ordinance moved $55,000 into fire-department salaries and $30,200 into parks-and-recreation line items; staff and the city treasurer said the change preserves departmental budget balances and does not alter the overall budget total. Council moved, seconded and approved the ordinance by voice vote; the transcript shows the ayes carried the motion but individual member votes were not recorded in the public minutes.
Consent agenda: The council pulled the minutes for minor typo corrections, addressed timestamp errors on past meeting items and then approved the consent agenda (minutes as amended and financial statements as of Sept. 30). The chair called a voice vote and the ayes carried.
The transcript does not include a written roll-call vote tally for the actions above; outcomes are recorded as voice votes with the chair announcing the result.
