Summary
At its Feb. 8 meeting Byron City council unanimously approved routine items including an audit engagement, a new utility bank account, an updated administration fee schedule, a merchant services contract contingent on edits, first readings of five ordinances, and two board appointments.
Byron City Mayor and Council approved a series of routine consent and operational items during its Feb. 8, 2021 meeting, voting unanimously on motions that covered audits, finance, ordinances and appointments.
Council authorized the mayor to sign an engagement letter with Mauldin & Jenkins to perform the city's 2020 audit (motion by Rusty Adams, seconded by James Richardson). The council also approved opening a new bank account for the Utility Department (motion by Chris Hodges, seconded by Alan Dorsey) and accepted an updated Administration Schedule of Fees (motion by Michael Chumbley, seconded by Chris Hodges). All three votes were unanimous and recorded as routine business.
The council approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to execute a merchant services agreement with Open Edge Solutions to integrate with the city's Tyler software, contingent on final edits agreed with the company and the city attorney (motion by Chris Hodges, seconded by Alan Dorsey). The minutes note the resolution and state the signed agreement is on file with the city clerk.
Council held first readings for five ordinances (Ordinances 2021-1 through 2021-5) addressing standing committees, general provisions, administration, alcoholic beverages and animals; the minutes record these as first readings without final adoption votes.
The council made two board appointments: Harry Patel was appointed to the Byron Redevelopment Authority Board to complete the term of his late father, Nick Patel (term expiring Dec. 31, 2021), and April Hodges was appointed to the Planning & Zoning Board to replace Terrence Fanning (term expiring Sept. 13, 2022). Both appointments were unanimous on motions by James Richardson.
These items were recorded as part of the meeting minutes; the record contains no separate staff reports or financial detail for some items beyond the motions listed in the minutes.
