Runnells council directs clerk to move forward with levy during Jan. 13 budget meeting
Summary
At a Jan. 13 budget work session, the Runnells City Council directed City Clerk Tami Curry to move forward with the city levy as part of budget discussions; the meeting also recorded a 3% wage-increase item and adjourned at 6:48 PM.
Mayor Webster called the Runnells City Council Budget Work Meeting to order on Jan. 13 at 6:00 PM. Clerk Tami Curry recorded roll call, noting Council members Phillips, Hawkins, Bohn and LaBelle present; Henry arrived shortly after roll call at 6:02 PM.
During the budget discussion the clerk was directed to "move forward with Levy," according to the meeting minutes. The transcript records that instruction but does not include a formal motion, a mover or seconder, or a vote tally for the levy action.
The session had previously approved the meeting agenda on a motion by Council member Phillips, seconded by Council member Bohn; the minutes record "all ayes, 0 nays, motion passed (4.0)" at that point while Henry was still absent.
The clerk's recorded direction to advance the levy is a procedural step that typically moves staff work and public-notice requirements forward; the council did not record additional details in the transcript about proposed levy rates, tax impact estimates, or a schedule for public hearings. Funding sources, target levy rate, and fiscal-impact numbers were not specified in the meeting record.
The council adjourned at 6:48 PM after a motion by Council member Henry, seconded by Council member Phillips; the minutes record "all ayes, 0 nays, motion passed (5.0)." City Clerk Tami Curry attested to the minutes.
