Council approves three City Sales Tax grants including Mt Pleasant playground funding
Summary
Rolla council approved three City Sales Tax grants: $7,500 to Rolla Archery Club, $10,000 to the City of Rolla, and $10,000 to Mt Pleasant School Playground Committee; the roll call shows one recorded 'Nay' by Member Willie Fritz on the Mt Pleasant grant while the minutes also state 'Motion carried unanimously' (inconsistency noted).
The Rolla City Council approved three grants recommended by the City Sales Tax Committee during its April 15 meeting.
The council approved a $7,500 grant to the Rolla Archery Club (motion by Damond Schemmel, seconded by Clarence Booth) and a $10,000 grant to the City of Rolla (motion by Paul Frydenlund, seconded by Clarence Booth). The council also approved a $10,000 grant to the Mt Pleasant School Playground Committee (motion by Paul Frydenlund, seconded by Deanna Counts). The minutes record that Member Willie Fritz voted "Nay" on the Mt Pleasant School playground grant while Councilmembers Booth, Counts, Albert, Frydenlund and Schemmel voted "Aye"; the minutes also include the line "Motion carried unanimously." This presents an internal inconsistency in the posted minutes (see audit note).
Council did not provide further detail in the minutes about the intended uses or timeline for the grants beyond the recipient names and amounts. The approvals were recorded as roll-call votes in the council minutes.
