Webster commissioners approve consent agenda; discuss radar signs, radios, Wi‑Fi, keypads and new printer
Summary
The board approved the consent agenda and financial report, reviewed account balances, and discussed administrative needs including radar speed signs, potential funding for Town Hall radios, public Wi‑Fi, electronic door keypads and a high‑capacity Ricoh printer.
The Webster Board of Commissioners unanimously approved the consent agenda on Oct. 2 and reviewed the town’s financial statements and account balances, then discussed a series of administrative and facility needs.
Commissioner Brandon Core moved to approve the consent agenda, Vice Mayor Leigh Anne Young seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The minutes recorded August expenditures of $4,098.26 and revenues of $9,613.59; account balances as of Aug. 31 were $143,892.00 in the First Bank Business Essentials account and $313,627.27 in the First Bank Money Market account.
In administrative reports, Mayor Tracy Rodes said town radar speed signs briefly worked after Hurricane Helene but then stopped; installation of replacement signs will take longer given storm impacts. Commissioner Young said she will pursue potential funding from the U.S. Geological Survey and Emergency Management to acquire two Town Hall radios to connect with emergency services. Commissioner Brandon Core requested Technology/Emergency Procedures be added to a future agenda and said Balsam West provided a new Town Hall password and a separate public Wi‑Fi password after the hurricane.
On old business, Commissioner Young will research costs and functionality for electronic keypad locks for Town Hall exterior doors (and possibly interior office and apartment doors) and report at the November meeting. Town Clerk Stephanie Gibson reported she had requested a quote from Ricoh for a high‑capacity printer but had not yet received a response and will follow up for presentation in November.
The meeting adjourned at 7:25 p.m.
