Councilmember Jana Myers withdraws National League of Cities dues and travel request
Summary
Councilmember Jana Myers moved to request city payment of $98 in National League of Cities dues and travel to a March conference, amended the request to cap the city's share at $3,700, and then withdrew the request after discussion.
Councilmember Jana Myers asked Barnwell City Council on Feb. 2 to cover her annual National League of Cities membership and related travel to a March 2026 conference in Washington, D.C.
Myers said she was nominated for membership and "believes this would be a good opportunity to bring rural community concerns to the table." She initially moved to approve city payment for dues and travel, then amended the motion to cap the city's total contribution at $3,700 and to forego her attendance at the MASC annual conference in exchange. After discussion about benefits and cost, Myers withdrew the request and the council took no action to fund the membership or travel.
The transcript records Myers as the mover and Councilmember Wanda Highsmith as the seconder during the request procedure; Myers subsequently withdrew the motion.
