Summary

Council approved payment of May claims totaling $128,779.65 after members asked for clarification on several line items including Mission Communications LLC and a digital-sign repair; roll-call votes recorded a unanimous yes with one absence.

Council reviewed the monthly claims and members asked for clarification on several vendors and line items. Questions included the purpose of Mission Communications LLC (described as related to the village water tower communications), subscription or service charges listed as "Madcap," and an electric-repair line for the downtown sign. Staff and vendors responded with brief explanations during the review.

After discussion, a motion to pay the May bills in the amount of $128,779.65 was made and carried on a roll-call vote. The transcript records council members voting in favor (with Paul Jenderski absent). No member requested tabling or withholding payment of any specific invoice at the meeting.

The council also discussed downtown sign power limitations and whether replacement or upgraded signage should be pursued in tandem with downtown improvements; staff said those topics would be handled as part of future DDA/downtown work.

Next steps: payments were authorized and staff will continue follow-up on vendor clarifications and any sign upgrades the DDA pursues. The council did not vote to change procurement policy or to withhold any payments at this meeting.
