Town council names custodians for public funds as required by bank
Summary
The Town of Washington moved to appoint two custodians for the town bank account—proposing the mayor and the treasurer—and approved the appointment by roll-call/voice vote as a routine compliance step required by the bank.
At the start of the meeting the Town of Washington council moved and approved the appointment of custodians of public funds required for the town's bank account.
Mayor (Speaker 1) explained the bank requires at least two custodians for the account and proposed the mayor and the treasurer serve in that role. Planning Commission chair (Speaker 5) moved to approve the appointment and a member seconded. The council conducted a roll-call/voice vote and recorded affirmative responses; the motion to appoint the custodians passed.
Why it matters: The appointment is a routine compliance step that allows the town to meet its banking requirements and authorize signatories for municipal funds.
The town did not attach additional conditions to the appointment during the meeting. The motion and vote were procedural and no further documentation or amendments were discussed on the record.
