The Hometown City Council approved $250,402.06 in accounts payable and $80,179.52 in payroll for a total of $330,581.58 and received an updated treasurer’s report showing 98.5% of property tax collected.
The Hometown City Council on March 10 approved accounts payable vouchers of $250,402.06 and payroll vouchers of $80,179.52 for a combined total of $330,581.58. The payment motion, moved by Alderman Forney and seconded by Alderman Brookman, passed on a 9‑0 roll call vote with one alderman absent.
Treasurer Sal Roti told the council that the city has "received 98.5% of the property tax" and that he revised the monthly report to give a clearer picture of the city's balances. Alderman Rivas asked about the rate of return on investments; Roti said it was about 3.5% but he would check and report back.
The council also approved the journal of the February 24 meeting earlier in the session; that approval was recorded with seven ayes, two abstentions and one absence. Aldermen acknowledged receipt of the Treasurer’s and Clerk Collector’s reports. The finance committee will continue its follow‑up work at meetings scheduled before the next full council session.
