At a glance: Old Town council actions on Feb. 2, 2026
Summary
The council approved minutes and routine items, accepted an RFP for a YMCA lease, issued a proclamation, and approved a receivables write‑off; the transcript records no roll‑call tallies and one abstention on the YMCA lease.
The Old Town City Council took several routine actions at its Feb. 2 meeting.
Minutes: The council approved minutes for four prior meetings (Dec. 15, 2025 administrative and special, Jan. 5, 2026 regular, and a Jan. 12, 2026 workshop) after a motion by Zack and a second from Katie.
Business Licenses: The council accepted renewal of business licenses and permits for Main Street Bookstore LLC (doing business as Canoe) at 283 Main Street (special amusement permit) and Elks Lodge No. 1287 (liquor license) at 374 Street; motion passed.
Proclamation: The council approved a proclamation recognizing Congenital Heart Disease Awareness Week, Feb. 7–14, 2026, at the request of resident Faith Bracket, founder and CEO of CHD Table Talk Foundation. (Note: the attached proclamation text in the meeting packet referenced 2024.)
Receivables write‑off: Council approved writing off an outstanding Old Town Recreation accounts receivable balance reported in the transcript as "$17,91845." The transcript amount appears to have a formatting error; the council approved the write‑off as recorded.
RFP / Lease: The council accepted an RFP from Old Town/Orno YMCA to lease and renovate the Herbert Sergeant building and authorized the city manager to finalize a lease subject to council conditions and legal review; Councilor Dave abstained from that vote.
Adjournment: The council adjourned at the conclusion of business.
Where the transcript omitted roll‑call tallies, the meeting record shows motions, seconding and unanimous 'all those in favor' language; specific vote counts were not recorded in the transcript.
