Summary

Council approved several tax-note funded equipment and repair items — municipal court equipment, two desktop PCs for public works, rec-center plumbing repairs — and authorized payment of two outstanding Axon taser invoices; the motions passed unanimously.

Council approved multiple small expenditures taken from available 2023 tax‑note funds: up to $1,500 for municipal court equipment (signature pad/printer), plumbing repairs at the recreation center, and two desktop PCs for Public Works. The council also approved paying current Axon taser invoices previously budgeted over a five‑year plan (two payments now due, totaling roughly $16,000) and directed finance to identify the appropriate tax‑note line to use.

The motion was made, seconded and passed on a roll‑call vote with unanimous support. Council and staff noted small unallocated tax‑note balances that could cover the court and rec‑center items and clarified that recurring Axon payments were part of an earlier multi‑year purchase plan.
