Lumpkin council orders payroll detail on March financial report, renews collection contract
Summary
Council voted to display direct-deposit amounts on the March financial report, approved renewal of the city's collection contract, authorized clerk trainings, and directed staff to seek cost estimates for location equipment after incurring a $625 late fee.
At its April 8 meeting the Lumpkin City Council instructed staff to record specific direct-deposit amounts on the March financial report after members raised that QuickBooks displayed zeros for deposits.
Councilwoman B. Mallory moved that the direct-deposit amounts be input on the March financial report; the motion passed 6–0. Clerk Anne Holloway told the council that QuickBooks shows a zero while the full amount is withdrawn from the account; members urged staff to show employee-specific amounts on the report going forward.
The council also approved renewing the city's debt-collection contract with the vendor listed in the meeting materials (recorded as DPA/DPS Recovery) by motion of F. Brown, seconded by M. House (6–0). The clerk reported the city had incurred $625 in late fees from delayed location requests; the council asked staff to research equipment options to reduce future fees and return with pricing.
Other administrative actions included these personnel- and training-related approvals: a motion by N. Seay to reimburse D. Simmons for accrued PTO from 2019 passed (6–0); the clerk was authorized to attend a GMA workshop on April 17 and Carl Vinson government accounting classes, per motions recorded in the minutes.
What’s next: Staff will add the payroll detail to the March financial report, publish training enrollments, pursue equipment pricing to address location-request delays and execute the collection-contract renewal per the clerk’s instructions.
