Boxholm council approves monthly bills, hears finance reports and considers community event space
Summary
At its Dec. 12 meeting the Boxholm City Council approved the agenda, minutes and treasurer's report, accepted bills totaling $6,968.20 (plus $736.52 in sewer bills), heard street and annual finance reports, and discussed a Grand Community offer to host events and a possible food pantry.
The Boxholm City Council on Dec. 12 approved routine business including the meeting agenda and previous meeting minutes, and approved the treasurer's report and payment of bills. Council members Veva Teeters, Paul Frazier, Victoria Helling and Brandon Wendt voted aye on those motions; Robyn Dodson was absent.
The minutes list municipal checks and payments totaling $6,968.20 and a separate sewer check total of $736.52. Sample municipal payments recorded include Alliant ($824.29), Guess Electric ($770.46), Sue Shreve (mayor pay, $207.79), and payroll checks to council members (payments listed for Helling, Dodson, Frazier, Wendt, Teeters). The clerk provided a street finance report and the city's annual finance report for council review; those were presented with no formal action recorded in the minutes.
Grand Community offered its space for community events and also offered space for a food pantry. Council members said the offer could be beneficial but indicated the city is not equipped to staff a pantry; no motion to accept or to operate a pantry was recorded. The council moved to thank local volunteers by gifting Peterson family gift cards and recognizing the Ortiz family for gazebo work.
The clerk reported November receipts of $7,240.82, including State of Iowa LOST general funds ($1,910.96), State of Iowa road funds ($1,862.41) and Boone County treasurer receipts ($2,779.11). The minutes do not record additional details about future spending or budget adjustments; the clerk is responsible for any follow-up.
