Staff had discussed the item at the Tuesday work session prior to the council vote.
Transmission-line contract: The council voted to award a contract to Williams Electric to construct a new 100‑kilovolt transmission line along Rockhill Church Road and authorized the city manager to execute the contract for the amount read during the meeting record (audio reflects the figure as "3 million 9,021").
