Summary
At its May 12 meeting, the City of McCausland City Council approved a $75 food‑truck vendor fee for Labor Day weekend, agreed to add an Edmunds Parks & Rec software module next fiscal year, and required a $200 deposit to book the Tractor Pull; the council also read a proposal for Cody Road sealant work and discussed a 28E agreement with the fire department.
The City of McCausland City Council on May 12 approved several routine items for upcoming events and city operations and heard a report about a road-seal proposal.
Mayor William Gillispie called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. and the council recorded a quorum of council members Stewart, Tague, Claussen and Shipman (Mizaur was absent). The council approved the consent agenda — including the April 14 minutes, claims report and the treasurer’s report — on a motion by Council member Stewart, seconded by Council member Tague; all present signaled aye.
On business items, Council member Shipman moved to read the LL Pelling proposal for sealant work on Cody Road; Council member Claussen seconded and the motion carried with all present signaling aye. The minutes record the proposal was read into the record for consideration; no bid award or contract execution was recorded in the minutes.
The council discussed two donations to the city — a tree to be planted and a bench to be placed — but the minutes show no formal motion or funding action on those donations during the meeting.
Council member Stewart moved to set the Labor Day food truck vendor fee at $75 for Labor Day weekend; Council member Shipman seconded and the motion passed with all present signaling aye, establishing the fee for vendors at the event.
Council members also discussed a 28E agreement with the McCausland Fire Department; the record lists the discussion but does not show a motion or vote on the 28E agreement during this meeting.
Council member Shipman moved to read the Edmunds Parks & Rec add-on module and proposed adding it next fiscal year; Council member Stewart seconded and the motion carried with all present signaling aye. The minutes indicate the module will be added in the next fiscal year implementation or budget cycle, but do not specify funding sources or a dollar amount in the record.
Finally, Council member Shipman moved that a $200 deposit be required to book the Tractor Pull event for Labor Day 2026; Council member Claussen seconded and the motion carried with all present signaling aye, making the deposit requirement part of the event booking policy.
With no further council remarks or public comment, Council member Claussen moved to adjourn; Council member Shipman seconded and the meeting was adjourned. The minutes were signed by Mayor William Gillispie and City Clerk Haylee Soda.
The council’s minutes do not record dissenting votes or public testimony at this meeting. Several items — including the LL Pelling proposal and the 28E agreement with the fire department — were placed on the record for future consideration but were not finalized during this session.
