Kenosha finance committee approves Item 2 as read; transcript records amount verbatim
Summary
The committee voted to approve Item 2 as read on the record; the transcript records the item as '1st on record number 13, 5541308 dollars and 87 cents' and shows aye responses when members' names were called.
The Kenosha Finance Committee approved Item 2 during its Aug. 4 meeting. The clerk read the item on the record as "1st on record number 13, 5541308 dollars and 87 cents" (verbatim from the transcript). A committee member moved to approve the item, a second was recorded, and the clerk called members' names while recording 'aye' responses; the motion carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The transcript records the motion and the committee's approval, but the numeric wording of the item as read in the transcript appears garbled. The committee's formal approval was completed in open session; the transcript does not provide additional context about the payee, program, or budget line associated with the item.
Vote and procedure: A committee member initiated the vote to approve and another member seconded; the clerk then called members' names and recorded 'aye' responses. The motion carried and the committee adjourned.
Notes on the record: The amount and record number were read aloud in the meeting in the form "1st on record number 13, 5541308 dollars and 87 cents." Because the transcript text is unclear, reporters and officials should confirm the precise dollar amount and the item's description with the clerk's office or meeting packet before publication.
