The Lebanon Board of Works approved the city’s December claims by voice vote during a short meeting on Dec. 22, 2025. A motion to require each claim be read aloud failed for lack of a second before the board moved to approve the packet.
During roll call the board confirmed a quorum. Mayor Gentry and board members Becky McClure, **** Robertson and Alan Milburn were recorded as present; Bill Stoner was not present but had signed the claims earlier. The chair described the agenda as "light" and said the meeting’s primary business was approving last payments for December.
An unidentified speaker asked that the claims be read individually, saying, "I'd like to see the claims read individually." That motion received no second and therefore did not pass. The board then entertained a separate motion to approve the claims; the transcript does not clearly identify who moved the approval or who seconded it. The board approved the claims by voice vote after the chair called for those in favor to say "aye." The transcript records the voice vote and a verbal "Aye" but does not provide a roll-call tally.
Before adjourning, a speaker offered holiday wishes to fellow board members: "Just wanna wish the board a merry Christmas and a happy New Year." The board set its next meeting for Jan. 12, 2026, and adjourned after a motion that was seconded by Allen.
Actions recorded in the meeting were limited to routine procedural business: the failed motion to have claims read individually, approval of the claims packet, and a motion to adjourn. The transcript contains no references to ordinances, contracts, grants, budgets beyond the claims packet, or to any public comment or contested debate.
