Reed City Council approves contractor payments, hires new city clerk and OKs Halloween Spooktacular
Summary
At a nine-minute special meeting Aug. 26, 2024, the Reed City Council approved several contractor pay applications totaling more than $400,000, authorized payment of an $18,050 software invoice, hired Amanda Grant as city clerk at $49,000 per year and approved the Halloween Spooktacular for Oct. 26, 2024.
Reed City Council convened a special meeting Aug. 26, 2024, at Reed City Hall and carried motions to pay municipal contractor invoices, appoint a new city clerk and approve a community Halloween event.
Mayor Roger Meinert called the meeting to order at 5:08 p.m. and the roll call listed Mayor Roger Meinert and Council members David Belden, Nicole Woodside and Brad Nixon as present; Russ Nehmer, Trevor Guiles and Dan Burchett were recorded as absent. City Manager Rich Saladin was in attendance.
The council approved contractor CJ’s pay application No. 1 for $177,503.60 on a motion by Councilmember Brad Nixon, seconded by Councilmember David Belden. Votes recorded in favor were Mayor Meinert, Nixon, Belden and Woodside.
On a second motion by Nixon, seconded by Councilmember Nicole Woodside, the council carried approval of CJ’s pay application No. 2 for $143,261.80. The meeting record lists Councilmember David Belden, Mayor Roger Meinert, Russ Nehmer and Councilmember Nicole Woodside as voting yes on that motion. The minutes earlier record Russ Nehmer as absent in the roll call; the meeting record shows Nehmer voting on pay application No. 2. The council record does not reconcile that discrepancy.
The council then approved Gerber’s pay application for $106,302.38 (motion by Belden, seconded by Nixon) and carried payment of a BS&A invoice for $18,050.00 (motion by Mayor Meinert, seconded by Woodside). Recorded votes for both motions were unanimous among the four members present.
Councilmember Brad Nixon moved, and Councilmember David Belden seconded, to hire Amanda Grant as City Clerk at Step 1 with an annual salary of $49,000; the motion carried with votes recorded in favor by Nixon, Meinert, Woodside and Belden. Mayor Meinert then moved, and Councilmember Woodside seconded, to allow the Halloween Spooktacular event on Saturday, Oct. 26, 2024; that motion also carried.
Mayor Meinert adjourned the meeting at 5:17 p.m.
Meeting minutes list the actions and recorded votes as shown; the minutes do not specify funding sources for the contractor payments or contractual context beyond the pay applications presented.
