The Sac City Council approved the consent agenda and the list of receipts and disbursements totaling $422,614.48 at its Jan. 14 meeting.

The vendor list included payments for utilities, equipment, legal services and capital items. The packet showed individual items ranging from routine supplies to larger payments such as pump replacement and final contractor payments; the meeting record lists the total as $422,614.48.

During the meeting Curtis Bloes and Tammy Vine presented the annual report for Hometown Pride. The transcript records the presentation but does not list specific financial requests or follow-up actions tied to that report.

On personnel and appointments, the council approved allowing Camden Villhauer to serve as an unpaid intern at the Water Plant (motion by Teresa Bruening; second by Larry Mahler; roll-call Ayes: Lownik, Mahler, Murley, Shull, Bruening). The council also appointed Collin Johnson to the Volunteer Fire Department (motion by Tom Lownik; second by Kayla Shull) and approved reappointments to various boards and commissions: Earl Zimmerman to the airport commission; Ree Irwin to the Board of Adjustment; Brian Mahler to the Planning & Zoning Commission; Sammie Bruce, Tim Cohoon and Mike Vauble to the Community Center Board; and Crystal Hanrahan and Jamie Lawrence to the Housing Committee. All listed appointments and reappointments passed by roll-call votes recorded in the meeting.

The council approved Nancy Amick’s request to install a plaque on a bench along the trail by the cemetery. The meeting concluded with a council forum and a motion by Bob Murley, seconded by Larry Mahler, to adjourn at 5:34 p.m.

The record does not indicate any dissenting votes on the personnel appointments, reappointments or the plaque request; where vote tallies are listed, the transcript records unanimous approval.
