Board approves $348,282.19 in payables; trustee questions apparent Richards Electric payment
Summary
Trustees approved a payables register totaling $348,282.19. Trustee J.W. Coleman asked why a $4,500 fire repair item was on the agenda while a $9,600 payment to Richards Electric appears on the payables list without separate approval.
President Samples presented the monthly check register and asked trustees to approve payables totaling $348,282.19; Trustee Retzer moved approval, Trustee Jordan seconded, and roll call approved the register as presented. The payables package included routine and capital items; the board did not break out individual invoices during the vote.
Trustee J.W. Coleman asked for clarification over an apparent discrepancy between an agenda item to approve a $4,500 fire department repair and a separate payable showing a $9,600 payment to Richards Electric. "Why didn't we approve that one," Coleman asked, seeking clarity on why one repair was on the agenda while a larger payment appeared on the payables list. Village staff suggested the $9,600 payment may be for plant work but the transcript does not record a definitive explanation; trustees approved the full payables list unanimously among those present.
