Walton council unanimously approves interlocal sewer agreement, town‑hall schedule and surplus‑property order
Summary
At its Dec. 9 meeting, the Walton Common Council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with Sanitation District No. 1 for after‑hours sewer maintenance, adopted a quarterly town‑hall schedule, and declared various city items surplus for sale or disposal.
The Walton Common Council met Dec. 9, 2025, at the Walton Senior Center and unanimously approved three administrative actions affecting city services and public engagement.
The council voted to adopt Resolution 2025‑11, authorizing an interlocal cooperation agreement with Sanitation District No. 1 to provide on‑call, after‑hours maintenance and service for the city’s sewer collection and treatment system and directing Mayor Terri Courtney to sign the agreement. Council member Matt Brown moved approval; Council member Dan Martin seconded. The roll call vote was 4‑0 in favor (Dan Martin, Matt Brown, Amy Long, Sherry Gaskill).
The resolution’s text approves entering the interlocal agreement; the meeting minutes do not specify contract terms such as cost, response times, or the agreement’s effective date. Those details were not provided at the meeting and are not specified in the record.
Council members also adopted Resolution 2025‑12, which establishes dates, times and locations for quarterly town‑hall meetings so members of the public may voice concerns. Council member Amy Long moved the resolution, Dan Martin seconded, and the vote was unanimous.
Finally, the council approved Municipal Order 2025‑09, declaring certain items of city personal property, equipment, materials and supplies as surplus and authorizing sale by public or online auction, transfer to another public agency, or disposal of items with no value. Council member Sherry Gaskill moved approval; Dan Martin seconded; the motion passed 4‑0.
The meeting included routine announcements that City Hall and the Walton Senior Center will be closed for the holidays from Dec. 24–26, a notice of the Gaines Tavern History Center Christmas open house on Dec. 14, and scheduling notices for the January caucus (Jan. 6, 2026) and the January council meeting (Jan. 13, 2026). Representatives listed for the record included Major Jason Noel of the Sheriff’s Department, Fire Chief Joey Vest, Matt Bogen of Cardinal Engineering, and City Administrator John Wainwright; no substantive public testimony was recorded in the minutes.
The council convened at 7:00 PM and adjourned at 8:01 PM. The minutes are signed by Mayor Terri Courtney and attested by City Clerk Rebecca McClure. For details such as the interlocal agreement’s contract terms, cost implications, or implementation timeline, the minutes indicate those items are not specified and would need to be obtained from city staff or the written agreement itself.
