The Toledo City Council met Jan. 12 at the Reining Center and approved a bundle of administrative actions and a public-works purchase while beginning a budget work session that will continue later this month.
Mayor Brian Sokol and five council members — Joe Boll, Doug Ray, Cathy Cook, Steve Vesely and Duane Pansegrau — were present. The council voted by voice to approve the consent agenda, which included minutes from the Dec. 22, 2025 council meeting, the Nov. 18, 2025 library board meeting and the Dec. 22, 2025 planning and zoning meeting, and approved liquor-license ownership amendments for Casey's Marketing and Kwik Trip Inc.
The clerk reported invoices totaling $69,213.11 for the period Dec. 23, 2025, through Jan. 12, 2026, and payroll of $37,700.43; the council approved the claims as presented. The minutes also list several building permits for buried cable and fiber‑optic work (permit numbers 2025‑41, 2025‑53, 2025‑54 and 2025‑60).
Under new business, the council approved committee, board and commission assignments. Among the administrative approvals, the council adopted Resolution 2026‑01 confirming the indefinite appointment of Kim McAdoo as city clerk and Kaiyla Wacha as deputy city clerk. The resolution was moved by Cathy Cook, seconded by Duane Pansegrau, and carried by roll-call with all present voting aye.

The council also adopted Resolution 2026‑02 naming the financial agent for the city’s LOSAP (Length of Service Award Program); that resolution was moved by Joe Boll, seconded by Cathy Cook, and carried by roll-call with all present voting aye.
Council discussion included a request to vacate the alley behind 209 N East Street; the minutes state that someone has purchased the house abutting the alley’s south side.

Following the action items the council moved into a budget work session. Discussion centered on wages and possible cost‑cutting scenarios; the clerk was directed to return with alternate budget scenarios and policy changes, and departments were asked to submit their budgets for review. The council scheduled the next budget work session for after the regular meeting on Jan. 26, 2026.
