Shamokin — The Shamokin City Council approved the minutes of its April 20 and May 18 regular meetings and voted to approve the list of May 2026 bills during its June 15 meeting.
Councilors raised questions about financial documentation. A council member requested an itemized breakdown of credit-card and cell-phone charges; staff explained that a $430 payment had been posted to the previous month's bills, which is why it did not appear on the current listing. Councilors also asked that mileage reimbursement forms include attached invoices or receipts; staff agreed that receipts should be stapled to reimbursement documents and said they would provide copies going forward.
The motion to approve the May bills was moved and seconded and carried on a roll-call vote with the members present voting in the affirmative. No public comments were recorded on the items.
The meeting then proceeded to remaining agenda items.
