Cortland board approves routine bills, holds two invoices for review
Summary
At its July 10 meeting the Village Board of Cortland approved most submitted bills but agreed to research two charges — one from SENDD and one from Commonwealth Electric — before payment; the board also approved the treasurer’s report and routine procedural items.
The Village Board of Cortland met July 10 and approved most routine financial business while holding two bills for further review.
At the start of the meeting Clerk Donelle Moormeier recorded attendance and the board unanimously approved the consent items, including the minutes and the treasurer’s report. The board then reviewed a list of presented invoices that included routine utility and vendor payments such as Norris Public Power and Waste Connections.
Board members paused payment on two items to verify services. The board agreed to hold a bill from SENDD while Goforth follows up with that organization about services provided over the past year. A Commonwealth Electric invoice was also held until Scott Kohout contacts the company to confirm whether the charge was legitimate or sent in error; Kohout is expected to report back at the August meeting.
Motion by Birkett, seconded by Douglass, to pay all bills except those two passed on a roll-call vote with all five board members voting yes. The board did not take final action on the two held invoices at the July meeting.
The minutes list the bills presented; examples include Arbor Ink ($45.00), Black Hills Energy ($189.03), Norris Public Power ($2,621.27), Waste Connections ($4,524.27) and payroll ($4,810.10). The exact total amount of presented invoices is recorded in the meeting packet.
The board’s next regular meeting is scheduled in August, when members expect updates on the two held invoices.
