Newton City Council approves amendment to FY2024 audit contract; removes wastewater plant item
Summary
At a Dec. 19 special meeting, the Newton City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 audit contract and voted to remove consideration of a wastewater treatment plant construction contract from the agenda. The meeting was then adjourned.
The Newton City Council unanimously approved an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 audit contract and removed consideration of the construction contract for a wastewater treatment plant at a special meeting Dec. 19, 2024, held at Newton City Hall.
Mayor Jerry Hodge called the meeting to order and recorded the presence of Mayor Pro Tem John Stiver and council members Ed Sain, Jody Dixon, Roy Johnson, Jon McClure and Beverly Danner, along with city staff including City Manager Sean Hovis and City Clerk Amy S. Falowski. The meeting record contains an inconsistency on start time: the header lists “6 p.m.” while the minutes text states the regular meeting was held at 3:30 p.m.; the minutes do not clarify which time applies to the special meeting.
On the first substantive action, Council Member Beverly Danner moved that the agenda item titled “Consideration to Award Contract for Construction of Wastewater Treatment Plant” be removed from the agenda; Council Member Ed Sain seconded the motion. The council recorded the motion as carried unanimously.
The council then took up an amendment to the Fiscal Year 2024 audit contract. Council Member Ed Sain moved that the amendment be approved; Council Member Roy Johnson seconded. The motion carried unanimously.
After those actions, Council Member Jody Dixon moved to adjourn the meeting; Council Member Ed Sain seconded, and the council unanimously adjourned the session.
The minutes do not specify terms of the audit-contract amendment, any reasons for removing the wastewater construction contract from consideration, or next steps tied to those items. No public comment, debate, or vote tallies by individual member are recorded beyond the notation that each motion was “unanimously RESOLVED.”
