Council approves consent agenda and vendor claims; minutes show discrepancies in reported totals
Summary
Reinbeck council approved the consent agenda and associated bills during the April 29 meeting. The minutes state bills to be paid were $39,397.22, while the attached claims list shows a 'CLAIMS TOTAL' of $49,973.23; the minutes do not reconcile the difference.
The Reinbeck City Council approved a consent agenda that the minutes indicate included the minutes from the prior meeting and bills to be paid. The motion to approve the consent agenda was made by Councilmember Wambold and seconded by Councilmember Johnson; the minutes record the vote as "4 ayes."
The body of the minutes lists a dollar figure for bills to be paid as $39,397.22. The attached claims list (separate itemization of vendors and amounts) that appears later in the minutes shows a different total: "CLAIMS TOTAL $49,973.23," followed by a fund-by-fund allocation (General Fund $25,155.53; Road Use Tax Fund $12,025.32; Street Project Fund $8,408.00; Water Fund $2,071.10; Sewer Fund $2,261.64; and other small funds). Notable line items on the claims list include Iowa Flatworks Concrete — $19,000.00 for a cemetery drive repair — Pavement Doctor — $9,740.00 for a street spray-injection patch — Snyder & Associates — $8,408.00 for Center Street engineering fees — and Wellmark BCBS — $4,982.30 for health benefits.
The minutes do not reconcile the two totals or explain the discrepancy between the initial bills amount recorded during the consent motion and the later claims list attachment. The council’s motion to approve the consent agenda passed 4–0 as recorded.
Provenance: consent motion and vote recorded in SEG 004; detailed claims list and fund totals appear in SEG 005 through SEG 008.
