Parks and Rec reviews bills; staff explains donations, freezer purchase and skate-park lighting costs
During the meeting, members reviewed the accounts payable and asked staff to clarify several entries before approving the bills.

A member asked whether a late invoice related to Econ Electric was the lighting outlet; staff replied that the invoice was sent late and went through the usual payment channel. Staff also explained a line described as "corn feed money" was the pool of donations collected over time and that an Amazon charge purchased a new freezer. A sponsorship-like item of about $1,000 was described as materials for a program, and staff said Ocean Spray donated approximately $1,800 to cover T-shirt and hat costs.

After those clarifications, a motion to approve the bills was made and seconded. The chair called for the vote and members answered in the affirmative; the transcript records the motion as passed but does not include a roll-call vote tally.

The transcript does not show additional formal fiscal actions (no budget amendments or contract awards recorded during this item).
