Velva City Commission approves bills, $7,992 grant for Velva Fresh Foods and $150,000 transfer
Summary
At its Feb. 18 meeting, the Velva City Commission unanimously approved minutes, payroll and bills, vendor quotes, a $7,992.81 grant to Velva Fresh Foods using VCDC sales tax funds, and a $150,000 transfer back into a money-market fund; a CDBG closeout hearing is scheduled March 17.
Velva City Commission President Mike Schreiner called the Feb. 18 meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. at Velva City Hall. Commissioners unanimously approved the Jan. 21 minutes, bills totaling $28,134 and payroll of $42,134.62.
The commission approved vendor quotes for a security card access system and vestibule window access after Gene Jenson reported a $2,200 verbal quote from Hoff. Commissioners Ben Zietz and Jenson moved to accept the quotes; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.
Schreiner presented a grant request from Velva Fresh Foods for relocation and installation of refrigeration coolers. The business originally requested $10,000; the Velva Community Development Corporation (VCDC) initially approved $9,750 and the final cost came to $7,992.81. The Sales Tax committee recommended funding the full $7,992.81 from the VCDC sales tax fund. Jenson moved to approve the grant and Mary Liz Davis seconded; the roll-call vote was all-aye and the motion carried.
Auditor Jenny Johns asked to transfer $150,000 back into the money market account; the sum had been borrowed from the money market to fund the main lift station replacement. Commissioners Davis and Jenson moved to approve the transfer and the motion passed unanimously.
Johns also announced a public hearing at 6:30 p.m. on March 17 to close out the CDBG grant received for the master lift station project.
The meeting included routine reports from commissioners and staff and a brief public works item authorizing listing an old Ford 700 for sale on Bisman with operator approval. With no further business, Schreiner adjourned the meeting at 7:23 p.m.
