Council approves amendment to June 24 minutes after member requests corrections
Summary
After Council Member Marlynn Mast requested three corrections to the June 24 minutes — clarifying an egress condition, recording Adam Lambright’s vote and role in a bidding offer, and noting the Clerk’s earlier position on a property appraisal vote — the council approved amended minutes and scheduled signatures for July 22.
The Topeka Town Council on July 8 voted to amend the minutes of its June 24 meeting after Council Member Marlynn Mast outlined three corrections she said should be entered into the record.
Mast asked the council to record that: (1) her motion concerning a property included a condition requiring an egress window be installed per county and town recommendation, not that it be without that condition; (2) Council President Adam Lambright voted yes to authorize making an offer on the Kings property and to designate Mast as the front contact to place a bid with the auctioneer (she said the only Nay at the time was Steve Schrock); and (3) the Clerk‑Treasurer had not objected previously when the council voted to obtain two appraisals for the King veterinary clinic and the town attorney had advised there were financing options if terms were reached.
Council approved the amended minutes and the minutes were noted as awaiting signatures on July 22. The council’s action corrects the official record as requested by Mast; the minutes do not show separate debate on the amendment beyond the request and the recorded approval.
