At the Jan. 5 meeting the Kingston City Council voted to open a new General Fund account and to give Treasurer Grayson Brown access to the general banking account to enable positive-pay controls. Councilmember Payton Silvers moved both authorizations; the motion to open the account was seconded by Reggie Applin, and the positive-pay access motion was seconded by Kate Posey.

The positive-pay authorization delegates electronic fraud-protection capability to the treasurer, a standard banking control for municipal accounts.
