Monona approves minutes, accepts accounts payable and adjourns meeting

On Feb. 2, 2026, the Monona City meeting approved the Jan. 20, 2026 minutes and accepted the accounts-payable register covering Jan. 16–29.

Unidentified Speaker 2 called for approval of the minutes; a motion and second were made and the minutes were approved by voice vote. Later in the meeting, Unidentified Speaker 2 reviewed the accounts-payable/check register for Jan. 16–29 and moved to accept the register. The motion to accept accounts payable was seconded and approved by voice vote with 'aye' recorded.

During the accounts-payable review, Unidentified Speaker 1 read or summarized line items in the register and noted several pass-through disbursements to taxing authorities and school districts. The transcript includes an item identified by the speaker as $2,000,000 payable to the county treasurer and other school-district-related amounts; those numerical entries in the recording are not fully clear, and the presenters said they would confirm unclear line items. Another line in the packet was questioned as an 'APTA P' (transcript: 'APTAP') licensing fee of $326, which the speaker suggested related to the radio station and said they would confirm the exact purpose and page reference.

Speakers also discussed insurance-related charges in the packet (liability, workers’ compensation, auto), noting that claim history and a three-year rolling average affect premium calculations. A library lighting project was mentioned briefly. No staff updates were reported. The meeting was adjourned following completion of the agenda.

Next steps: presenters said they would confirm unclear packet entries and Public Works will separately review the previously approved contract amendment; no additional committee action on the accounts-payable items was recorded in the transcript.
