Summary
The Girard City Council approved Appropriations Ordinance 2026-13 totaling $528,985.22 and a consent agenda that included grant and bond interest payments, a $10,000 fence/gate purchase, a department promotion, and two seasonal hires.
The Girard City Council on June 29 approved Appropriations Ordinance 2026-13 totaling $528,985.22 as part of a broader consent agenda. The ordinance and consent items were approved by motion; a vote was recorded as "motion carried" in the minutes but specific tallies were not provided.
The consent agenda listed multiple large disbursements: payments to KMEA ($37,183.00 and $116,332.00), State Treasurer interest payments on GO bonds including Series 2025 (solar) and Series 2024 (water project) totaling $305, - the minutes list the full breakdown as $123,144.53 (Series 2025) and $179,618.75 (Series 2024) and $6,125.63 (Series 2015). Also included was a $10,000 payment to Humble Construction for a fence/gate. Personnel actions approved by the consent agenda included promotion of Assistant Chief Burke to Officer level III pay scale, hiring Adam McWilliams for cemetery maintenance at $15/hour pending pre-employment paperwork, and hiring Chris Coles as a seasonal mower at $12.50/hour pending pre-employment paperwork.
"Motion by Darrell Westhoff, seconded by Lucas Stansbury to accept consent agenda as presented, motion carried," the minutes read. The minutes do not record individual council votes or any dissent on these items. The council had previously approved the meeting agenda earlier in the session.
Next steps: the listed payments will be processed per the city’s finance procedures; the personnel appointments are contingent on successful completion of required pre-employment paperwork and certifications where noted.
