Mayor, treasurer and councilors proposed for new weekly financial subcommittee
Summary
Council chair proposed a volunteer financial subcommittee of the mayor, treasurer Sophie and two council members to meet weekly to review accounts payable and reduce questions during regular meetings.
The council chair proposed creating a financial subcommittee to improve communication between staff and council and to vet accounts payable before the regular meeting.
Under the proposal the mayor, the treasurer Sophie, and two volunteer council members would meet every Monday before the council meeting to review vouchers and invoices scheduled for council approval. The chair said the subcommittee would provide a chance to flag questionable items in advance and maintain transparency, while other councilors noted the remaining members would still be able to ask questions during the full meeting.
Members discussed meeting times and volunteer participation; no formal appointments or votes were recorded during the study session.
