The Town of Gay council voted on Oct. 14 to adopt amendments to the town’s general and water budgets and to approve related financial documents.
Mayor Christopher J. Walker called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Council member Watts moved to accept the amended general budget, which the minutes say added revenue from trash fees and adjusted expenses; Council member Askvig seconded and the motion passed unanimously as recorded (the minutes do not specify dollar amounts or an individual vote tally). The council then approved an amended water budget that the minutes describe as reflecting an expected increase in water sales; that motion was also moved by Watts, seconded by Askvig, and recorded as unanimously approved (amounts not specified).
Financial documents reflecting the adopted amendments were presented later in the meeting. Council member Askvig moved to approve those documents, with Council member Pritchett seconding; the council approved them, again recorded as unanimous. The minutes note that Council member Keith was absent for the meeting; they do not list individual votes by name.
