Mayor breaks tie; council approves consent calendar
Summary
Harrison City Council approved its consent calendar (monthly bills and minutes) after a 3-3 split was broken by Mayor Wanda Irish, who cast the deciding AYE vote. The approval followed a motion by Councilmember Josephine Prophet and a second from Will Butler.
Mayor Wanda Irish called the Sept. 12 meeting of the Harrison City Council to order at 6:00 PM. The council considered the consent calendar — approval of monthly bills and adoption of minutes from the Aug. 8 and Aug. 22 meetings — after Councilmember Josephine Prophet moved to approve and Will Butler seconded.
The roll call vote initially produced a tie. Councilmembers Will Butler and Josephine Prophet voted AYE; Joe Cornell and John Gray voted NAY; Debbie Lockhart voted AYE and Charlie Shutt voted NAY. "Mayor Wanda Irish broke the tie by voting AYE," the minutes record, and the consent calendar was approved. The record lists the motion as passed with the mayor’s tie-breaking vote.
