McCausland council approves consent agenda, backs laptop purchase and moves to read bereavement resolution
Summary
At its June 9 meeting the McCausland City Council unanimously approved its consent agenda, voted to buy a laptop under an SCRA technology grant, moved to read Resolution 202608 implementing a bereavement policy for full‑time employees, and scheduled local events and an emergency‑planning presentation.
The McCausland City Council met in open session June 9, 2026, at the City Chambers. Mayor William Gillispie called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m., and a roll call recorded Councilmembers Mizaur, Tague, Claussen and Shipman present; Stewart was absent.
The council unanimously approved the consent agenda—moved by Shipman and seconded by Claussen—which included the meeting agenda, the May 12, 2026 minutes, renewal of the Corner Market tobacco and cigarette license, the claims report and the treasurer's report. The minutes record that all present “signaled aye” and the motion carried.
During the business portion of the meeting the council scheduled a Community Concession Stand Clean Up Day for Sept. 19, 2026, and set a Scott County Emergency Plan discussion and presentation for Aug. 18, 2026 at 6:00 p.m. at the Civic Center. The minutes list these as scheduled items; no votes or funding details for either item were recorded.
Councilmembers reviewed a quote from One Technology related to the SCRA Technology Grant. Shipman moved, and Tague seconded, to move forward with the purchase of a laptop tied to that grant; the motion passed with all present voting aye.
Claussen moved, and Mizaur seconded, to read Resolution 202608, described in the minutes as “Implementing Bereavement Policy for Full Time Employees.” The motion was approved by all present; the minutes record the council moved to read the resolution but do not state whether the reading constituted final adoption.
The council noted that the McCausland Adult Softball League will return beginning Aug. 21, 2026. Shipman moved, and Claussen seconded, to adjourn the meeting; the motion carried unanimously.
