City reports fiscal‑year finish with revenues above expectations; aldermen sworn in and officers elected
Summary
Finance Director Stephanie Harris reported the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025 with no funds over budget and revenues coming in better than anticipated; the board also administered oaths of office to newly elected aldermen, elected Dan Holt board president and named David Lehman planning & zoning representative.
City Finance Director Stephanie Harris presented the March monthly and year‑end financial report, saying the 12‑month period ending March 31, 2025 closed with no funds over budget and with revenues exceeding expectations: "We finished the year with no of our expenditures over budget in any fund ... overall, our revenues, came in better than we had anticipated." The board had no questions recorded on the financial report and accepted the presentation.
The board then completed organizational tasks for the 2025–26 session. The city clerk/administrator administered oaths of office to newly elected aldermen Jerry Spencer and Dan Holt. The board nominated and approved Dan Holt as board president for a one‑year term and approved David Lehman as the representative to the Planning and Zoning Commission. The mayor later nominated Ashton King as the city’s parks board representative; the board approved that appointment by voice vote.
Members used the mayor's communications time to explain recorded votes from earlier in the meeting; one alderman reiterated concerns about the location of a proposed car lot relative to an applicant proposing significant multifamily investment in the city.
