The Maurice City Council on Aug. 20 approved its posted agenda and consent agenda, including $80,378.98 in disbursements and $51,054.13 in receipts. Council member Roger De Weerd moved to approve the posted agenda and the consent agenda; both motions were seconded by William Korver and recorded as "All Ayes." The meeting established a quorum with Mayor Randy Hoekstra and council members Sharon Vermeer, William Korver, Cindy Larsen, Isaac Holtrop and Roger De Weerd present.
The consent agenda incorporated the minutes of the July 23 regular meeting, the treasurer's report and bills for payment.

Under old business, City Clerk Lana Bruxvoort reported follow-up work on the removal of diseased ash trees from city right-of-ways and on revolving loan fund requests submitted in June; the minutes note the follow-ups but do not specify contractors, timelines or funding allocations for tree removal. The council also received a written report from Public Works Director Jeff Van Der Weide; the minutes indicate the report was submitted but do not detail its contents.
There was no new business. Isaac Holtrop moved to adjourn the meeting, Sharon Vermeer supported the motion, and the council voted unanimously to adjourn. The minutes set the next regular meeting for Tuesday, Sept. 17, 2024. The document was signed by Lana Bruxvoort, City Clerk.
