Council sets price for sale of city millings to local business after conflict-of-interest review
Summary
The City of Osmond set the sale price for asphalt millings to The Crafted Cup at $20 per ton plus $2 per ton freight after Treasurer/Clerk Brittney Timmerman disclosed family ties to the transaction and noted that 11 loads of five tons each had already been delivered.
Treasurer/Clerk Brittney Timmerman brought before the council the sale of asphalt millings to The Crafted Cup, noting the need to follow state rules because an immediate family member of a council member is involved in the transaction. Timmerman said eleven loads of five tons each had already been delivered and that because city employees and equipment were used, the business would be charged for man hours and freight.
After discussion about appropriate oversight, Councilman Dennis Haselhorst moved to set the dollar per ton at $20 and the freight charge at $2.00 per ton; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously by roll call vote. Timmerman advised staff that moving forward all sales of city property should be brought before the council to avoid local or state regulation violations.
