Perry council approves routine administrative items; audit delayed to next meeting
Summary
Council approved bills, authorized check signers and named city depositories, and set the 2025 meeting schedule. Treasurer Meggen Galbreath said the city audit is delayed and will be presented at the next meeting.
The Perry City Council on Dec. 5 unanimously approved routine administrative measures, including payment of presented bills, designation of city depositories and authorization of check signers.
Treasurer Meggen Galbreath told the council the city audit was not ready because of a programming issue at the auditor’s office and said the audit would be presented at the next scheduled meeting on Dec. 19, 2025. Council did not vote on the audit itself; the item was postponed to the next meeting.
On banking and signatory authority, Mayor Susan J. Hammond announced Huntington Bank, PNC Bank, PFCU and Consumers Credit Union as city depositories; council approved the list unanimously. The council authorized any two of the clerk (Shirley Smith), treasurer (Meggen Galbreath) or mayor (Susan J. Hammond) as signers on city accounts.
The council set its 2025 regular meeting schedule for the first and third Thursday of each month at 7 p.m. at 203 W. Polly Street and moved to cancel the Jan. 2, 2025 meeting. The mayor was authorized to approve payment of bills between meetings.
Why it matters: These actions establish basic financial and scheduling procedures for city operations and postpone formal audit review until the auditor resolves technical issues.
