Summary
At its Aug. 13 meeting Canton’s council approved the meeting agenda and consent items, passed Resolution #2025-12 approving the sale of a tax-forfeited parcel, and authorized CD investments for the ballfield/park fund and water fund.
The Canton City Council recorded several formal motions and approvals at its Aug. 13 meeting, summarized below.
Agenda and consent: Jeremy Hanson moved to approve the agenda; Jason Magnuson seconded and the motion carried. The council approved the consent agenda—covering July minutes, August disbursements and sponsorship of an Emergency Response Team section in the FC Journal—on a motion by Jen Dowling, seconded by Jason Magnuson.
Resolution #2025-12: The council approved Resolution #2025-12 to approve the sale of a tax-forfeited parcel. Jason Magnuson moved the measure; Jen Dowling seconded and the motion carried. The minutes reference the resolution number but do not include the parcel legal description or sale price.
Investments: The council authorized two certificates of deposit at First Southeast Bank: $10,000 from the ballfield/park fund for a nine-month term at 4.25% (motion by Jen Dowling, seconded by George Hafner) and $125,000 from the water fund for a 12-month term at 4.35% (motion by George Hafner, seconded by Jason Magnuson). Both motions were recorded as carried; no roll-call tallies or dissenting votes are shown.
Adjournment: Jen Dowling moved to adjourn; Jeremy Hanson seconded and the meeting ended at 7:12 p.m.
What’s missing: The minutes record motions as "motion carried" but do not provide vote tallies, parcel sale details, or contract amounts for demolition work.
