Mayor Larry Jamieson presided over the City of Minto council meeting on Nov. 12, 2024, where the council approved prior minutes, a slate of vendor claims and financials, several licenses and permits, and directed remaining ARPA funds toward an ordinance update.
The council voted to approve the minutes from the Oct. 14, 2024 meeting after a motion by Councilman Shutt, seconded by Councilman Miskavige; the motion carried. Councilman Shutt then moved and Councilman Kelley seconded approval of claims and financials, which the council recorded as carried. The minutes list a series of approved payments, including payroll of $17,917.61 and vendor payments such as Kilichowski Trucking ($15,275.92), Black Mountain Software ($11,599.20), Walsh Rural Water District ($10,150.51) and others as recorded in the claims list.
On licenses, the council approved 2025 liquor and beer licenses for Steve Novak, listed as the licensee for Harvey Avenue Saloon, on a motion by Councilman Narloch with a second from Councilman Miskavige. The council also approved three gaming permits on a motion by Councilman Kelley, seconded by Councilman Shutt; both items were recorded as carried.
The council next approved using the remaining $20,714.78 of American Rescue Plan Act funds to revise the city's ordinances. The motion to allocate those ARPA funds was made by Councilman Miskavige, seconded by Councilman Kelley, and carried. The minutes record the dollar amount and the stated purpose (ordinance revision) but do not provide additional detail in the record about the specific ordinances to be revised, the vendor or consultant to perform the work, or a timeline for completion.
There being no further business, Councilman Shutt moved to adjourn, Councilman Narloch seconded, and the meeting closed at 7:48 p.m. The minutes include Mayor Larry Jamieson's signature and are attested by Auditor Angela Shutt. The next regular meeting is scheduled for Monday, Dec. 9, 2024, at 7:00 p.m.
