Summary

After an initial motion to give $250 failed, the council approved a $500 donation to the West Carroll School Band by a 4–1 vote; Alderman Jeff Elliott opposed the larger amount.

The council considered a request to donate to the West Carroll School Band. Alderman Jeff Elliott moved to donate $250; Alderman Jeff Soenksen seconded. The first roll-call vote found Elliott and Soenksen voting yes and Aldermen Doug Bergren, Amy Buss and Jody Wolber voting no; the motion failed (2 yes, 3 no, 1 absent).

Alderman Doug Bergren then moved to donate $500 and Alderman Amy Buss seconded. That motion passed on roll call with Bergren, Buss, Wolber and Soenksen voting yes and Alderman Elliott voting no; Alderman Paul Kaczmarski was absent. The council therefore approved a $500 donation to the West Carroll School Band.

The transcript shows the council debated the amount but recorded no further conditions or instructions concerning the donation's use.
