Council reviews sales-tax trends, fills golf-board vacancies and schedules closed session
Summary
Finance staff reported March sales-tax receipts roughly in line with March 2024 and summarized fund balances; council filled two golf-course board vacancies and voted to enter closed session for legal matters.
The council received a finance update showing March sales tax receipts slightly above March 2024 and year-to-date receipts down less than 1% compared with the prior year. Finance director Leslie told the council the general fund was approximately $10.5 million and noted several large projects that will draw on fund balances before year-end.
Councilmembers thanked staff and city manager David Kennedy for fiscal management. One councilmember asked whether trends indicate a pullback in local spending; Leslie said the city’s numbers suggest a leveling rather than a sharp decline.
The council then accepted two appointment requests to fill remaining vacancies on the golf-course board (Stacy Phillips and Todd Phillips). Finally, the council moved to go into closed session under Section 610.021 to discuss legal action; the motion passed 6 to 0 and the body recessed for a short break before closing.
