Clerk reports large streetscape reimbursement; council approves June expenditures

City staff presented the June check registers and sought council approval of routine disbursements. The clerk listed general-fund totals and identified a large reimbursement related to the Temple Avenue streetscape project. In the presentation the clerk referenced checks totaling $873,350.27 but later asked the council to approve $872,350.77; staff also said a reimbursement for the streetscape was received today in the neighborhood of $190,000 to $233,000 depending on the line item referenced.

The clerk outlined a number of other items: an arts-council grant check that staff routed through the city's account and then reimbursed, a new general bond checking account opened at the state bank, and Park & Recreation and Aquatic Center check totals (the Aquatic Center spending included a large payroll figure). Councilors moved and approved the register and related motions by voice vote. The clerk said the lift at city facilities is back in operation and that staff will include dispute-language on upcoming printed bills related to other agenda matters.
