Summary
Council approved the Aug. 31 treasurer's report showing a General Fund balance of $3,955,076.74 and a Street Fund balance of $936,349.19, and agreed by consensus that the mayor and department heads should prioritize spending roughly $29,000 in remaining grant funds on qualifying purchases before year-end provided individual expenses remain below $10,000.
The Little Flock City Council approved the Aug. 31 treasurer's report at its Sept. 16 meeting. The report shows a General Fund balance of $3,955,076.74 and a Street Fund balance of $936,349.19. Council Member Robert Phillips moved to approve the report; Council Member Debb Formanek seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
Mayor Jeff Van Sickler told the council that remaining grant funds — approximately $29,000 after purchasing and equipping a new truck and accounting for insurance — must be spent on qualifying purchases by the end of the calendar year. The council reached a consensus that the mayor and department heads could prioritize and spend that remaining grant money without additional council approval for individual expenses under $10,000. The transcript records this as a consensus direction rather than a formal, recorded vote on a policy change.
The transcript does not detail the grant’s source, the specific qualifying uses, or a precise accounting that reconciles the truck purchase and insurance; the $29,000 figure is presented as approximate in the meeting record.
