Arcade Council approves LMIG supplemental application and adopts 457(b) deferred-compensation resolution
Summary
At its April 14 meeting the Arcade City Council unanimously approved a 2025 LMIG supplemental application and a resolution adopting a 457(b) deferred compensation plan; the council also approved prior meeting minutes and heard committee reports and festival preparations.
Arcade — The Arcade City Council unanimously approved two administrative actions at its April 14 meeting: authorization for the mayor to sign a 2025 LMIG supplemental application and adoption of a resolution implementing a 457(b) deferred compensation plan for city employees.
The council first approved unapproved minutes from two March 10, 2025 sessions after motions from Council Members Ron Smith and Cindy Bone, respectively; both motions passed unanimously. Council Member Cindy Bone then moved to approve the 2025 LMIG-SUP application and authorize Mayor Doug Haynie to sign the application. Council Member Tom Hays seconded the motion, which the council approved unanimously. Later in the meeting Council Member Ron Smith moved to adopt the 457(b) Deferred Compensation Plan resolution and authorize the mayor to sign any associated documents; Hays seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
The LMIG application is intended to secure state/local grant funding for local maintenance and improvement projects (application labeled in minutes as “2025 LMIG-SUP”). The minutes do not specify project details, award amounts or timelines. The 457(b) resolution, as recorded in the minutes, conveys council approval to proceed and to allow the mayor to execute necessary documents; the minutes do not list plan provider details or effective implementation dates.
Council members present at the meeting who participated in the votes were Mayor Doug Haynie and council members Denise Black, Jenny Buley, Ron Smith, Cindy Bone and Tom Hays. All motions recorded in the minutes passed "unanimously." No public comment was recorded on either item.
The meeting record shows these votes were procedural, with the LMIG application now authorized for submission and the 457(b) plan resolution authorized for execution; the minutes do not record subsequent administrative steps or specific implementation timelines. The council adjourned at the end of the meeting.
What's next: The LMIG application will proceed as authorized; further information about any awarded funds, project scope or contract awards was not specified in the minutes. The 457(b) plan implementation details (provider, enrollment timeline, employer contributions) were not specified and will require follow-up with city staff.
