Windy Hills council approves Aug. checks of $163,249.25, hears paving payment

The Windy Hills City Council on Sept. 9 approved the minutes and financial reports for August and authorized checks totaling $163,249.25, including $113,131 tied to recent paving work.

Councilwoman Helen Davis moved to approve the Aug. 12 minutes and Councilwoman Kate Greer seconded; the motion carried without discussion. Councilwoman Greer then moved to approve the August financial reports (Profit & Loss and Balance Sheet) and Councilwoman Marianne Rademaker seconded; that motion also passed. The council approved payment of August checks, noting that $113,131 of the total covered paving expenses.

Public Works reported the paving project had been completed to the council's satisfaction and that Libs Paving has been paid, with $50,000 drawn from the Road Fund and $63,000 from the general fund. Councilman Steve Teaford presented those cost allocations during the report out to the council.

Clerk/Treasurer Christine Haner told the council the city recorded a record second quarter municipal insurance premium tax receipt of $84,000 (the city had budgeted $67,500 for the quarter). Haner also said the city set up a dedicated bank account at Pinnacle Financial Services for collecting insurance-premium tax receipts and that auditors from Jones, Nale & Mattingly are working on the fiscal-year-end audit (FYE 6/30/24); a draft audit is expected in October and a final bound copy before the Nov. 8 caucus, with management presenting results at the Nov. 11 council meeting.

The council took no public-comment items and adjourned the meeting at 7:24 p.m.
