Monona committee approves insurance claim payment, reviews April finances and accepts accounts payable
Summary
After a brief closed session, the Monona Finance and Personnel Committee approved a claim submitted by Bristol West Insurance on behalf of Jennifer Smith, received the financial report through April noting data-processing costs at 42% of budget and higher-than-expected EMS revenue, and accepted the general fund accounts-payable checks including a down payment for an Abtech door-lock system and an $8,000 invoice from GC General Engineering Company.
The Monona Finance and Personnel Committee on June 1 convened in closed session to consult with legal counsel on a pending claim and, after returning to open session, approved the claim and handled routine financial business.
The committee voted to go into closed session under Wis. Stat. § 19.85(1)(g) to confer with legal counsel about a claim of Bristol West Insurance Company on behalf of Jennifer Smith (claim dated February 23, 2026). After the closed session the committee reconvened in open session under Wis. Stat. § 19.852 and voted to approve the claim.
Mayor Nancy Moore called the reconvened session and the motion to approve the claim was moved, seconded and carried by the members present.
Finance staff member Mark presented the financial report through April and described the general fund as “on course” while highlighting several items to watch. Mark said licenses and permits are behind expected pacing but should increase with upcoming large projects, and that parking revenues are nearly 50% of the expected amount to date. He flagged data-processing/IT as an area of concern, saying the city is “at 42% of our current budget right now” through the first three months because of an early-year camera project. Mark also reported that EMS ambulance-fee revenues are running well above budgeted expectations on the revenue side, and that many capital projects have yet to post expenditures because work is scheduled later in the year.
The committee then moved to accept the general fund accounts-payable checks. Staff called out a down payment for the recently approved Abtech door-lock system and an approximately $8,000 April invoice from GC General Engineering Company. The motion to accept the accounts-payable checks carried by voice vote.
There were no staff updates and the committee adjourned.
