Council approves budget second reading, authorizes surplus truck sale and switches to credit cards
Summary
At the June 9 meeting the council approved the second reading of Budget Ordinance No. 2026-1, authorized sale of a surplus maroon truck to the highest bidder, and voted to replace town debit cards with credit cards; motions were unanimous as recorded.
The Byron Town Council approved several motions during its June 9, 2026 meeting, recording unanimous support where noted in the minutes.
Budget Ordinance No. 2026-1 (second reading) — Motion by Councilman Brandon Hessenthaler, second by Councilman Mikey Brightly. The council approved the second reading; Clerk/Treasurer Nicole Hunter said the budget reflects prior working-session numbers though a final line-by-line review is still planned before final adoption.
Surplus vehicle sale — Motion by Councilman Shae Abraham, second by Councilman Brandon Hessenthaler. Blind bids collected for the town’s maroon truck were opened and the highest bid from Beau Reimink was accepted; the council voted to approve the sale.
Replace debit cards with credit cards — Motion by Councilman Shae Abraham, second by Councilman Brandon Hessenthaler. Council discussed tracking itemized expenditures and asked the clerk to consult Caselle regarding credit-card accounting; the motion to move from debit to credit cards passed.
Executive session (personnel / backup contract operator) — Council moved the Backup Contract Operator discussion to executive session (motion by Brandon Hessenthaler, second Shae Abraham) and later reconvened (motion by Brandon Hessenthaler, second Shae Abraham). The minutes record motions and unanimous support for moving into and reconvening from executive session; the session’s substantive matters are not part of the public record.
Why it matters: These actions set the town’s near-term fiscal posture (budget second reading and finance-card changes) and dispose of surplus property. The budget still requires a final line-by-line review before ultimate adoption.
Next steps: Staff will perform the additional budget review and follow up on credit-card setup with Caselle; the sale of the truck will proceed per the accepted bid.
