Huntsville council approves liquidation of donated GBCI investment to pay for Town Hall furnishings
Summary
Acting mayor pro tem Sandy Hunter said liquidating a donated GBCI investment would yield about $13,000 to cover furniture, landscaping and other extras for the new Town Hall; the council approved the measure 4-0.
Council Member Sandy Hunter, acting as mayor pro tem, told the Huntsville Town Council that the town holds a donated GBCI investment intended for the new Town Hall and that liquidating it would provide funds for furnishings and landscaping. She said the Town Hall Fund currently covers construction bills with about $2,000 remaining and that selling the investment would generate roughly $13,000 to cover the extras.
Council Member Bruce Ahlstrom moved to approve the liquidation of the GBCI investment; Council Member Artie Powell seconded. The council voted unanimously, 4-0 (Ahlstrom, Lewis Johnson, Hunter and Powell voting aye), with Mayor Richard L. Sorensen recorded as excused. Town Clerk Nikki Wolthuis recorded the action in the minutes.
The motion directs staff to liquidate the donated investment and apply the proceeds to Town Hall-related extras, including furniture and landscaping. The minutes identify the investment as a donation from a local family; the minutes do not specify the exact sale date, fees, or the investment account number. The council did not record any dissenting comments or amendments to the motion.
