Vernon Center approves $15,000 fire relief donation and $23,951 funds transfer; council probes negative county account balance
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 2025-14 donating $15,000 to the Fireman’s Relief fund and approved Resolution 2025-15, a $23,951.18 transfer split 54% to water and 46% to sewer; Councilor Peterson asked staff to investigate a negative balance in account 412.
The Vernon Center City Council adopted two resolutions and approved routine bills during its meeting. The council approved Resolution 2025-14, donating $15,000 to the Fireman’s Relief fund, and Resolution 2025-15, a funds transfer totaling $23,951.18 allocated by auditors as 54% to the water fund and 46% to the sewer fund.
Clerk Kara Hansen told the council that auditors instructed the allocation for project-related assessments; the council approved the transfer on a motion by Councilor Lisa Peterson. Councilor Peterson also raised a separate concern after reviewing Cash Balance Investments that the county 412 account showed a negative balance in April; Hansen said journal entries from auditors likely caused the change and was directed to research why the account appeared negative.
The council approved additional bills and Clerk Hansen’s mileage reimbursement of $529.20 for travel between February and June. Motions on these items were recorded as "All approved" in the transcript; no roll-call tallies were recorded.
