The Town Council of Indian Springs Village adopted a new Rules and Procedures ordinance, ratified two bank depositories and approved several appointment resolutions at its Nov. 4, 2025 regular meeting at Town Hall.
Mayor Richard Harley opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m.; Town Clerk Vickie Lewis called the roll and confirmed the mayor and five councilmembers were present. Before the meeting, District Attorney Matt Casey performed a ceremonial swearing-in for Mayor Richard Harley and councilmembers Herbert Robins (Place 1), Emily Bell Casey (Place 2), Nick Hill (Place 3), Ed Whatley (Place 4) and Dale Elliott (Place 5).
Councilmember Dale Elliott moved to elect Councilmember Herb Robins as Mayor Pro Tempore; Councilmember Ed Whatley seconded. The minutes record the motion carried with Robins recorded as abstaining.
The council dispensed with the reading of the Oct. 7, 2025 minutes and approved them on a motion by Elliott, seconded by Robins.
On the agenda’s business items, Mayor Harley opened immediate consideration of Ordinance 2025-002, "Rules and Procedures of the Town Council." Councilmember Dale Elliott moved unanimous consideration; a roll-call on that motion recorded Councilmembers Robins, Casey, Hill, Whatley and Elliott voting yes. The council then adopted Ordinance 2025-002 on a subsequent motion recorded as carried "with all in favor." The minutes indicate the council also considered and adopted Ordinance 2025-003 (Establishing the Town’s Officers); the transcript repeats the earlier ordinance number in places, and the minutes note the officers ordinance was adopted "with all in favor."
The council adopted Resolution 11-04-25-002 to ratify Central State Bank as a town depository and Resolution 11-04-25-003 to ratify Bryant Bank; both resolutions were recorded as adopted "with all in favor."
