Summary

The Georgetown City Council at its Feb. 2 meeting approved a series of routine administrative items, including payment of vendor invoices, departmental reports, and a number of new-business motions that passed unanimously.
Key votes and actions: the council authorized payment of List 902—29 vendor payments totaling $130,790.99—after Alder Curt Gordon asked about a payment to Kirby Risk. The clerk reported $1,912.50 in waste pad receipts for January. Councilors approved the clerk’s, streets & alleys, water & sewer, and public safety reports by unanimous votes. Council also approved establishing a bicentennial committee account, officially naming the dam after Jim Chandler, authorizing an ordinance officer through the land bank for building violations and grant help, and approving purchase of a replacement money machine for water payments (the existing machine is described as at least 20 years old).
All motions recorded in the minutes passed on unanimous votes among members present (6–0). The meeting adjourned at 7:37 p.m.
What this means: Most items were procedural approvals or local administrative decisions. The payments and equipment purchase were authorized from existing funds (the minutes say the money machine expense can come from the Special Water projects fund).
