Wymore council approves routine business: community center bookings, insurance, contracts and asset sales
Summary
At its May 21 meeting the Wymore City Council approved routine business including minutes and claims, reserved the community center for the Cattleman’s Ball, granted alcohol permits for two receptions, approved an insurance plan, and amended Resolution 2025-01 to add city items for sale.
The Wymore City Council approved a series of routine administrative items at its May 21 meeting, including reservations and fee waivers for community events, the selection of a 2025 insurance option and the amendment of a resolution to list city equipment for sale.
Mayor Collin Meints called the meeting to order at 7:01 p.m. and the council voted, largely unanimously, on a docket of motions. The council approved the minutes and the treasurer’s report, and approved claims and payroll; a later separate vote approved check #29712 with Councilman Curt Oblinger recorded as abstaining.
The council reserved the community center as a contingency rain location for the Cattleman’s Ball on June 6–7 and waived rental fees for that use after a motion by Councilman Max Allen, seconded by Councilwoman Sue Sapp.
Two private alcohol permits were approved. Allison Edeal was granted permission to serve alcohol at a community-center wedding reception on June 11 from 7:30 p.m. to midnight, with no beer garden allowed. Dani Pishney was granted permission to serve alcohol at her June 21 reception from 5:00 to 11:00 p.m., and the council allowed a beer garden for that event.
City Clerk Janet Riensche reviewed the 2025 LIGHT insurance renewal and proposed plan changes; the council approved PPO OPT 1 (table 8). Councilmember Max Allen noted premium increases may require adjustments to next year’s budget.
The council approved a building inspector service agreement naming Chet McGrury as the city’s Building Official; the contract sets inspections at $125 per hour with a four-hour minimum and was approved after an amendment changing the term “Village” to “City” on page 2, paragraph 4a.
Members also amended Resolution 2025-01 to add items for sale, including a 2017 Ford Explorer police vehicle (added due to electrical issues) and community-center tables and chairs.
The meeting record shows the council handled these items by motion with recorded outcomes and set several implementation steps (scheduling inspections, preparing amended contracts and posting sale items) to follow. Discussion of recording meetings was deferred to a future agenda.
The council adjourned at 8:54 p.m.
