Summary
At its March 11 meeting, the Andrew City Council unanimously approved the consent agenda, granted a chicken permit and a Treat building permit (with variance), and authorized raising cyber insurance coverage to $1,000,000 for $278 annually.
The Andrew City Council on March 11, 2025, approved the consent agenda, several permits and a move to increase the city's cyber insurance limit.
Mayor Mike Roeder called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m. and confirmed Councilmembers Regan, Rowan, Till, Williams and Jamison were present. The clerk summarized accounts payable and payroll for the period and reported February fund totals of $28,056.97 in revenues and $26,551.11 in expenses.
Councilmember Regan moved to approve the consent agenda, Councilmember Rowan seconded, and the council voted unanimous 'all ayes' to approve. During public forum there were no attendees.
In separate motions, the council approved a chicken permit for Jensen (motion by Williams; second Jamison), and after a public hearing that produced letters in favor, approved a variance and the Treat building permit (variance: motion by Williams, second Regan; building permit: motion by Williams, second Jamison). All these motions passed with unanimous 'all ayes' votes.
The council also discussed cyber insurance and approved increasing coverage from $250,000 to $1,000,000 at an annual premium of $278; Councilmember Williams moved the approval, Councilmember Till seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. Councilmembers noted the decision was aimed at improving protection "in this age of hacking." The numeric amounts above reflect corrections to the transcript's formatting for clarity.
The meeting closed after miscellaneous reports — including ongoing work to determine ownership of antennas on the water tower, plans to move books from the old library, an inquiry into shelving interest, and a request to add a stop sign by the ballfield for safety — and a motion to adjourn at 7:13 p.m. (motion by Jamison; second Regan), which passed 'all ayes.' Patty Hardin attested the minutes and Mayor Mike Roeder signed.
