The Sigourney City Council voted unanimously on a series of routine and operational items at its Feb. 6 meeting, including approval of the consent agenda, personnel actions and ordinance updates.
The council approved the tentative agenda and a consent agenda that included the Jan. 15 minutes and accounts payable claims totaling $24,935.09.
