Blue Ridge council approves meeting schedule, banking updates and two-signature check policy
Summary
The council adopted the 2026 meeting calendar including a new monthly workshop, updated planning commission dates, removed former officials from bank records and approved a policy requiring two signatures on checks over $5,000.
The Blue Ridge City Council completed a series of administrative items intended to tighten financial controls and clarify meeting timelines for 2026.
Councilmembers unanimously approved the 2026 council meeting schedule and added a standing monthly workshop to allow staff and the public more time for in-depth review of agenda items. The planning commission's meeting and public hearing dates for annexations and rezonings were also adopted to provide predictable filing and comment timelines for applicants and neighbors.
On financial administration, the council voted to remove the former mayor and former mayor pro tem from the city's banking records and signature cards and to add the current mayor and mayor pro tem. The council also adopted a policy requiring two signatures on all checks over $5,000 as a checks-and-balances measure.
All housekeeping votes carried by voice vote; the items were presented as routine business and passed without substantive discussion.
