The Wingate Town Council on Dec. 10, 2024 approved a series of routine financial and enforcement actions, including a $2,500 additional appropriation for the sanitation fund and a $1,000 transfer between categories in the Local Income Tax (LIT) Public Safety fund.
At the start of the meeting Janet Alexander, the town’s clerk-treasurer, presented a public hearing for Ordinance No. 2024–12–10 proposing the $2,500 sanitation appropriation; no members of the public spoke and the council approved the ordinance (motion by Council President Kyle Campbell; second by Council Member Andrew Lorenz).

The council voted to approve an Agreed Order of Abatement with former resident Ronald Gard that requires cleanup of the property at 100 North McClure Street by May 15, 2025; the order states the town will begin assessing fines if the property is not brought into compliance. The motion to approve the agreed order was made by Andrew Lorenz and seconded by Kyle Campbell; Janet Alexander will confirm the council’s action with Town Attorney Stu Weliever.
The meeting also included approval of routine fiscal items: the reconciled November financial reports, an Accounts Payable docket of $45,125.49, and a $197.36 utility adjustment for an overpayment. The council approved allocating $1,000 for additional Christmas lighting after a short discussion.
