Tecumseh council approves consent agenda and pays city bills; minutes list differing totals
Summary
The council approved the consent agenda including approval of minutes, payroll and vendor payments. The minutes list vendor totals inconsistently ($19,832.57 and $28,891.73) and show payroll of $9,059.16; the record does not reconcile the discrepancy.
At the March 2, 2026 meeting, the Tecumseh City Council approved the consent agenda by motion of Council Member Lorie Topp, seconded by Council Member Alicia Brommer. The consent agenda included approval of the Feb. 17, 2026 minutes, payroll and payment of city bills to vendors listed in the minutes.
Vendors named in the minutes include AKRS Equipment, Black Hills Energy, Brinkman Bros., Charter Communications, Deluxe Checks, Hometown Leasing, Nemaha Valley Observer, Southeast Nebraska Action Center, Sun Auto Tire & Service, Tecumseh Alumni Committee and Windstream. The minutes contain two different vendor-total lines: one listing Total - $19,832.57 and another listing Total – $28,891.73; payroll is separately listed as $9,059.16. The meeting minutes do not explain the discrepancy between the two totals.
The motion to approve the consent agenda is recorded as carried; the minutes list aye votes that include a 'Goracke' among the voters (see other items) though attendance records list Travis Goracke as absent. The minutes do not provide line-item invoices, vendor-specific amounts, or payment dates beyond what is printed in the meeting packet language.
