Councilmember objects to $500 Sedan Boosters payment; council approves bills with one Nay
Summary
Kathy Miller objected to a $500 payment to the Sedan Boosters Club and argued the council should have voted on it; the council approved bills totaling $50,602.64 with Miller recorded as the lone Nay.
Councilmember Kathy Miller told colleagues she "cannot back this payment that was made as the council should have been able to vote on this," referring to a $500 payment to the Sedan Boosters Club. Adam Clark supported the view that donations should generally come from citizens rather than the city. Mayor Bryan Blankinship said he "made the call in order to give back to the community."
The council voted to approve payment of the bills in the amount of $50,602.64. The minutes record the motion carried with a Nay vote from Kathy Miller; no further roll-call details are recorded. The minutes do not show the council reversing the $500 payment; they reflect discussion and dissent but not a rescission of the payment.
