Summary
At its Jan. 21 meeting the Drummond Town Council unanimously approved closing and re‑opening a sewer‑fund certificate of deposit maturing Jan. 24, 2025, approved an Adobe Acrobat Pro for Teams subscription to meet ADA PDF accessibility requirements, and authorized routine minutes and claims.
The Drummond Town Council unanimously approved a set of routine administrative and financial actions at its Jan. 21 meeting, including a subscription to Adobe Acrobat Pro for Teams to make town PDF records ADA‑accessible and a rollover of a sewer‑fund certificate of deposit maturing Jan. 24, 2025.
Mayor Gail Leeper called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and the council first approved the December regular meeting minutes. Council Member McLure moved to approve the minutes and Council Member O'Dell seconded; the motion carried on a unanimous voice vote.
Clerk‑Treasurer Robin Wight then fielded questions about claims from Council Member O'Dell, who asked specifically about Blackfoot Communications and NorthWestern Energy charges. Wight explained Blackfoot bills are split among Fax/Internet, Town Hall and Justice of the Peace accounts and said the town uses a business‑grade Wi‑Fi service for added cybersecurity. Mayor Leeper confirmed street lights had been converted to LED in prior years. After discussion Council Member Clute moved to approve the claims; Council Member McLure seconded and the motion passed unanimously.
On financial business the council reviewed a Citizens Alliance Bank four‑month sewer fund certificate of deposit that matures Jan. 24, 2025. Mayor Leeper asked to close the maturing CD and re‑open a new CD with accumulated interest; Council Member McLure moved to approve that action, Council Member Clute seconded and the vote was unanimous.
The council also considered purchasing Adobe Acrobat Pro for Teams so staff can create OCR‑searchable PDFs to comply with municipal ADA requirements. The discussion covered a seven‑day trial period, monthly versus annual subscription pricing and how many licenses the town needs; staff reported the town does not currently require more than a single license. Council Member Clute moved to approve the subscription; Council Member O'Dell seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The meeting record shows no fiscal amounts attached to the votes beyond the CD maturity date and the subscription options discussed; the record notes cost and licensing were reviewed but does not specify the final contract or dollar amount for the Adobe subscription. The council adjourned at 7:22 p.m.
