Nelsonville council sends Ordinance 8426 then-and-now matter to finance committee

The Chair moved that the council refer the then-and-now action tied to Ordinance 8426 to the finance committee; the motion was seconded and the clerk called the roll. The Chair later announced, “Motion passes,” after affirmative votes, formally sending the item to finance for additional review.

Council members discussed the administrative need for invoice documentation as part of then-and-now certification, with a member noting they had discovered they needed to provide invoices for purchases over $3,000 and that there had not been sufficient time to gather them. The referral means finance committee members will review the documentation and advise the full council on whether further action or certification is appropriate. The transcript notes the finance committee’s next meeting window (the 5th) was mentioned as an opportunity to prepare for that review.
