Council discusses updating TexFile access and removing former mayor as account signer
Summary
Council members said a TexFile authorization form will supersede prior access, and they discussed removing the former mayor from bank signers while banks demand wet signatures and more paperwork.
Council members reviewed administrative steps to update who can access the city’s TexFile (tax/financial) account and bank accounts. Speaker 3 explained the TexFile authorization will supersede prior signers: "Once you fill that out, it'll take anybody else off who's not on that new authorization." The council discussed ensuring two active signers are listed and the need to remove the previous mayor from accounts.
Members also said banks have complicated the process: Speaker 3 noted Cadence Bank was not accepting minutes and required wet signatures, and Speaker 7 said two CDs had been closed and funds would be transferred to a tech-school account pending the signer updates. Several members proposed motions to remove the former mayor (identified in the transcript as "Eddie") from bank signers and to have staff file the proper authorization forms.
