Milan council handles routine year-end business, approves bills payable and sets 2023 meeting schedule
Summary
The council reviewed and authorized payment of $680,141.52 in bills and payroll, set its 2023 meeting dates, heard a Spark Grant update and brief safety reminder, and agreed to reopen sidewalk repair discussions.
The Milan City Council on Dec. 27 conducted routine year-end business, including approval of bills payable and payroll totaling $680,141.52 and setting the city’s regular meeting dates for 2023.
Councilmember Kerkes moved and Councilmember Baldwin seconded to pay the bills as presented; the minutes record the motion in the "Bills Payable and Payroll" section with the stated total. Earlier in the meeting the council approved the agenda with an amendment to remove item E from the consent agenda; Consent items A–D (building/code-enforcement report for November 2022, setting 2023 meeting dates, and Milan Beautification Commission minutes for Oct. 5 and Nov. 2) were moved for approval by Councilmember Nie and seconded by Councilmember Kofflin. The minutes record the motion to approve A–D but do not include an explicit vote tally for that specific consent motion.
During "Mayor, Council & Staff Reports," Administrator Jim Lancaster provided an update on the city's "Spark Grant" application process and thanked DPW, police and fire personnel for working over Christmas. Police Lt. Jeremy Nieman offered a New Year’s Eve safety reminder, advising residents to call the police for a ride if needed. Several councilmembers — including Kofflin and Baldwin — expressed interest in reopening sidewalk repair discussions in the new year.
The council adjourned at 7:58 p.m.; minutes were signed by Mayor Ed Kolar and Clerk Lavonna Wenzel.
