Crawford council approves Green Dumpster loan payoff; approves Keno funds and warrants with clarification
Summary
Council approved payoff of the Green Dumpster loan and authorized $4,300 in Keno funds for the Senior Pro Rodeo. Council approved bills and vendor payments, including a conditional approval for Levi's Auto Recycling requiring itemized invoicing; payroll ledger shows a payoff line that differs slightly from the payoff figure discussed in the meeting.
The Crawford City Council voted to pay off the outstanding Green Dumpster loan tied to Nebraska Environmental Trust grant No. 23-148 and approved several routine financial items, including $4,300 in Keno funds for the Senior Pro Rodeo and the city's accounts payable.
Council Member April Grant moved to approve payoff of the Green Dumpster loan; Christopher Dean seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The meeting record included a calculation of the grant shortfall and accrued interest that put the total owed at $141,927.12; the city's payment ledger later shows an entry labeled 'Security First Bank Dumpster Grant Loan Pay-off' for $141,757.70. Council minutes note approval to proceed with payoff, and staff indicated they will reconcile and provide itemized documentation where needed.
The council approved $4,300 from Keno funds for the Senior Pro Rodeo scheduled Aug. 16–18, 2024; the motion to approve was made by Robert Tovmassian and seconded by Christopher Dean. The council also approved regular bills and claims. Council initially withheld approval of Levi's Auto Recycling warrant pending clarification; the council later approved the Levi's Auto Recycling warrant for $3,035.00 with the stipulation staff obtain itemized part invoicing; April Grant abstained on that final warrant vote.
Council asked staff to submit the past two years of bank records to the State Auditor for review; that motion carried. The meeting closed with approval of payroll and a published accounts-payable listing that showed total disbursements of $210,488.64.
