Tecumseh council approves consent agenda, records $67,746.09 in bills
Summary
The Tecumseh City Council on Jan. 20 approved a consent agenda including payment of city bills totaling $67,746.09, with the minutes listing the motion moved by Council Member Lorie Topp and seconded by Council Member Lance Beethe. The minutes also show a discrepancy about one member's attendance and vote.
The Tecumseh City Council on Jan. 20, 2026, approved a consent agenda that included payment of city bills totaling $67,746.09. Council Member Lorie Topp moved to approve the Consent Agenda and Council Member Lance Beethe seconded; the motion carried, and the meeting was adjourned at 5:01 p.m.
The minutes itemize vendor and payroll payments that the council approved. Notable line items listed in the minutes include Miller Painting & Decorating, Inc. for $25,000.00, East South Trucking and Excavating for $19,000.00 and payroll totaling $12,192.19; the minutes show a final total of $67,746.09. The motion is recorded in the minutes as: "Motion by Topp, second by Beethe to approve the Consent Agenda as follows: 1. Approve Minutes of the January 5, 2026 meeting. 2. Pay bills for City Funds" and then lists the vendors and amounts.
The minutes also record the roll-call outcome as "Voting Aye: Beethe, Britt, Brommer, Goracke, Speckmann, Topp; Voting Nay: None; Abstain: Not Present: Motion Carried." Elsewhere in the same minutes (roll call section) Alicia Brommer is listed as absent. The minutes therefore contain an internal inconsistency about whether Council Member Alicia Brommer voted; the document records her as absent in the attendance list but names her among those voting aye. The minutes do not resolve that discrepancy.
