Council approves May financial report after brief debate over timing
Summary
Despite calls from one councilmember to delay review because materials arrived the same day, the council approved the May 2025 financial report showing $9,132,720 in combined accounts at May 31 and year-to-date positive net revenue for the general fund.
The council approved the May 2025 financial report after a short discussion about timing and review. Donna Annette Gohberg presented the bookkeeper's report and summarized balances, revenues, and expenditures.
Gohberg reported combined account balances of $9,132,720 at May 31, 2025—a decrease of $402,303 from April 30—and said the decrease mainly resulted from a land purchase related to the wastewater expansion. She told the council year-to-date general fund receipts were $3,405,032 versus budgeted $3,000,112 and that general fund year-to-date net position was positive $619,977. "As you know, we have 5 checking accounts... As you can see, the end of May 31st 20 25, we had $9,132,720," she said.
One councilmember asked to postpone approval because the budget materials were received that day, but another moved to approve the report, a second was recorded, and the motion passed. The vote was recorded as the motion 'has been made to approve the budget Motion is passed' by voice vote; the transcript records discussion and the motion's passage but does not detail a roll-call tally for this item.
Provenance: Financial-report presentation followed by motions and approval (agenda item 5b).
