The Homewood City Council approved vouchers covering the period Dec. 9 through Dec. 22 at its Dec. 22 meeting, voting 4–0 to accept agenda item O91225, but pulled a personnel-board invoice for further inquiry.
Mayor Anders flagged the personnel board voucher and told the council, “we pulled that out, and Kelly is gonna be, inquiring about that the amount was not what we budgeted for.” Councilor Simmons moved to approve the vouchers and Councilor Lane seconded; the motion passed unanimously.
The council discussed the cadence of credit-card reporting (Mayor Anders noted credit cards are reported monthly while these vouchers are biweekly) and clarified that the pulled personnel invoice will be researched by staff before any payment or further action.
Why it matters: voucher approval authorizes payment of city bills; pulling the personnel invoice signals fiscal oversight and a request for staff follow-up before payment. The council did not specify the invoice amount or exact resolution number in the meeting record.
What’s next: staff (Kelly) will investigate the personnel-board invoice and report back; the remainder of the vouchers were approved and will proceed for payment.
