The Village of Lincoln Heights council moved several formal finance items and then entered executive session to discuss pending litigation during its April 8 meeting.
Mayor Ruby Kenzie Mumphrey called for the first reading and passage of Resolution 2024‑R‑25, described in the meeting as “Resolution amending 2024 Permanent Appropriation Ordinance, specifically Exhibit A attached thereto.” The council suspended the rules, approved the resolution and adopted the emergency clause by roll call; the clerk recorded six aye votes and the resolution passed.
Council then took the consent agenda as a block. The agenda included first readings of resolution numbers R‑26 through R‑31 authorizing the finance director to transfer monies from special revenue funds to the general fund. The items were approved by roll call and the council adopted the emergency clauses (six ayes).
Later in the meeting, Councilwoman Phyllis Baber moved that the council enter executive session to discuss pending litigation; the motion was seconded and carried. Roll call recorded five ayes and one abstention (Councilman Durrance Daniels abstained). The mayor invited Mr. Lemon (interim village manager) into the executive session. The council returned to open session at 8:43 p.m. and adjourned.
Vote tallies (as recorded by roll call in the meeting): for key votes the transcript records the following responses — Councilwoman Phyllis Baber: Yes; Councilwoman Nona Calhoun Mummia: Yes; Councilman Durrance Daniels: Yes (on some roll calls) and abstain (on the executive session motion); Councilwoman Laverne Mitchell: Yes; Vice Mayor Linda Childs Jeter: Yes; Mayor Ruby Kenzie Mumphrey: Yes. Where the transcript presented multiple roll calls, the recorded yes/abstain counts are consistent with passage of the items described above.
What happens next: The appropriation amendment and transfer resolutions were adopted with emergency clauses; the executive session addressed litigation (no public details were disclosed in open session).
