Summary
Council approved January finance reports, payroll and a list of monthly bills including several large vendor payments, authorized travel for staff training, and heard a mayoral report noting January water loss of 137,377 gallons (9.04%). Drone licensing was discussed with no action taken.
Finance Officer Lydia Morley presented the city’s January finance reports and reconciliations; Council approved the reports on a motion by Shelly Janish, second by Matt Bilben (roll call 4-0).

Council authorized travel and training for staff: Richard Two Two was approved to attend the Sheriff’s & Chiefs Association Conference in Deadwood and the Code Enforcer Conference in Pierre; Finance Officer Lydia Morley was authorized to attend the Finance Officers Conference in Oacoma. The council discussed a drone license item but took no action; Two Two was assigned to gather further information. Under mayoral comments, Mayor Bill Gough reported January water loss totaling 137,377 gallons, equal to 9.04 percent of water usage recorded for the month.
The minutes record motions to approve finance items and bills but do not attach explanatory memos for individual vendor charges. Follow-up with city finance staff or future agenda materials would be needed to clarify any large or recurring expenditures.
