Owens Cross Roads council accepts minutes and bank balances; small judicial-account discrepancy to be corrected
Summary
Council members voted to accept the meeting minutes and a set of bank balances totaling about $970,225.23; staff said a roughly $500 discrepancy in the judicial account will be corrected in the official minutes.
The Owens Cross Roads City Council voted to accept the meeting minutes and the list of bank balances presented during the meeting. The motion to approve was made by Mr. Claus and seconded by another council member; the motion passed after recorded 'yes' votes from Mayor Pro Tem Tim Scott Baker and Councilwoman Jennifer Little.
Council members were presented with itemized account totals for several funds, which were read into the record as reported by staff. The presenter listed amounts for general operations, sewer operations, municipal court, corrections, cash bond, a judicial training fund, gas funds, Rebuild Alabama, sewer security deposits, Steuart Tap, and capital savings. The presenter stated a grand total of $970,225.23 as of today; the transcript includes formatting artifacts in several individual line items, which staff said would be corrected in the official minutes.
During the vote the police chief noted that the figure shown for the judicial account differed from what appears on the minutes' spreadsheet by about $500. A meeting official apologized for the error and said it will be fixed in the filed minutes. "I apologize for that error," the official said.
The council did not take any separate action on ordinances or resolutions during this meeting.
The approval was procedural; no further financial votes or budget authorizations were recorded during the session.
