Portal council approves minutes, financials, equipment purchase and auditor pay raise
Summary
At its Oct. 1 meeting the Portal City Council approved Sept. 3 minutes and financials, authorized a $7,000 push-plow purchase for the backhoe, granted a pay raise to Auditor Kaydee Smith and approved the 2025 final budget with amended CDBG timing.
The Portal City Council met Oct. 1 at the Community Center and opened its regular session at 4:00 p.m., Mayor Lisa Smith presiding. The council approved the Sept. 3 minutes and the presented financial statements by unanimous vote.
Councilors also approved a $7,000 purchase of a push snow plow for the city backhoe from RDO. Kenneth Evenson moved the purchase and Tamara Rudland seconded; the motion carried "All in favor, motion carried." Auditor Kaydee Smith said the city plans to sell the red tractor's existing snow pusher and blade attachment to offset the cost and will contact the League of Cities to confirm whether those items must be advertised for bid or may be advertised for sale.
The council granted Auditor Kaydee Smith a pay raise effective the date of the meeting after a motion by Kenneth Evenson and a second from Tamara Rudland; the vote was unanimous. The council also approved the 2025 final budget, amended to reflect that Community Development Block Grant-funded construction was moved into the next fiscal year, on a motion by Tamara Rudland and a second from Kenneth Evenson.
Other routine business included noting no sheriff’s report was given, recording listed bills for September and October and scheduling the next regular meeting for Nov. 12, 2024, at 4:00 p.m. The meeting adjourned at 4:33 p.m.
