Citizens ask for school utility review; council approves $47,657.39 in bills
Summary
During public comment Citizen Murry requested a line‑by‑line review of school utility spending to find weekend savings. The council approved bills totaling $47,657.39 and directed Murry to meet with City Manager Tibbs for follow‑up.
During the public‑comment period Citizen Murry said the School District's FBFP (funding or utility costs) has "reduced significantly" and asked for someone to sit down and review line items to identify weekend savings; he said he is "trying to reduce as much cost as I possibly can." Mayor Wayne Browning asked Murry to make an appointment with City Manager Larry Tibbs and City Clerk Ashley Wills to review the accounts.
Citizen Eighner asked whether the full $54,314 tractor purchase will come from "scrap money" and what line item would cover the remainder; Tibbs replied that the purchase will be paid from public-works funds where excess funding remains. Later in the meeting Councilmember RaShonda Croskey moved to approve the bills in the amount of $47,657.39; Alisha Beck seconded and the motion carried.
