Hancock County Council approves April 6 minutes and $1.29 million in bills; audit ongoing

The Hancock County Council approved the April 6 meeting minutes and an accounts payable voucher totaling $1,287,813.91 during its meeting Monday.

A motion to approve the April 6 minutes was made, seconded and approved by voice vote after council members responded "Aye." The transcript does not record the names of the members who moved or seconded the motion, and individual roll-call votes were not recorded for that item.

The clerk-treasurer presented the advisory statement and cash reconciliation for the month ending March 2026 and updated the council on an ongoing audit. "We had our entrance for the State Board of Accounts Audit. They're chugging away. They said they should be done about mid-May, so that's where we're at there," the clerk-treasurer said.

Council then considered an accounts payable voucher covering checks numbered $79,356 through $79,605 that totaled $1,287,813.91. The voucher was described in the meeting as including interfund transfers first listed as $167,000 and then corrected in the transcript to $167,906. A motion to approve the voucher was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the voice votes but does not list individual vote tallies or the names of the mover and seconder.

Kim told the council she had no report when asked by the presiding official. The council set its next meeting for Monday, May 4 and adjourned at 8:00 p.m.

The meeting record in the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded the motions and does not show individual roll-call votes for the approvals described above.
