Council approves June check register after questions about police travel reimbursements and a vehicle purchase
Summary
Council approved the June 2025 check register after members questioned several $1,000 travel/training charges and asked staff for spreadsheets showing reimbursements; the register also shows a $48,000 purchase of a 2025 GMC Sierra for the gas department, which council asked to clarify.
Council reviewed the June check register and asked for more detail about four roughly $1,000 charges on the FirstBank account that members said appeared to be travel and training expenses. "Once again we have 4 charges in the north of 1000 dollars," a councilmember noted, asking for clarity on who attended and whether reimbursements will offset those costs.
The town manager said the trainings had been budgeted previously, that there are reimbursements which will offset those costs and that he will provide a spreadsheet detailing training inputs and reimbursement outputs. Members also questioned a capital purchase listed in the register: a 2025 GMC Sierra for the gas department, cited at approximately $48,000. The manager said the vehicle was a budgeted item prior to his arrival and that staff will provide supporting documentation. Robbie made a motion to approve the June 2025 check register, Sean seconded, and the council voted aye to carry the motion.
