Runnells council schedules follow-up on library spending, codification, MidAmerican contract and park-board transfer possibilities

May 18, 2026

Council asked staff to add several administrative items to future agendas, including a resolution to lift the library spending freeze (needed for summer program purchases and end-of-year transactions), review of the codification contract for timelier website updates, consideration of a MidAmerican secondary contract, and discussion of a possible $10,000 park-board transfer to capital improvements.

Council directed staff to add multiple administrative items to future agendas.

Phillips requested a review of the terms of the codification contract to improve website update timeliness and asked that the MidAmerican secondary contract be placed on a future agenda.
