Harrison council approves consent calendar after mayor breaks tie
Summary
Harrison City Council approved its consent calendar (monthly bills and previous meeting minutes) after a 3–3 tie was broken by Mayor Wanda Irish’s tie-breaking AYE vote, allowing the bills and minutes to be adopted as presented.
The Harrison City Council approved its consent calendar on Sept. 12, 2024, after Mayor Wanda Irish cast a tie-breaking vote.
Councilmember Josephine Prophet moved to approve the Consent Calendar, which included approval of monthly bills and the Aug. 8 and Aug. 22 meeting minutes; Councilmember Will Butler seconded the motion. The roll-call produced six recorded votes split evenly, and Mayor Wanda Irish “broke the tie by voted AYE,” resulting in approval.
The motion record shows Will Butler AYE, Josephine Prophet AYE, Joe Cornell NAYE, John Gray NAYE, Debbie Lockhart AYE and Charlie Shutt NAYE before the mayor’s deciding vote. The approval covers routine fiscal and procedural items and concluded the council’s consent-agenda business for the evening.
The council proceeded to new business following the vote.
