Council accepts bills; staff flags IT spending and legal cost allocations

On June 15, 2026 the City Council voted to accept the listed general fund bills. The motion to accept the bills was moved, seconded and approved with the members present voting "aye."

Staff member Mark reviewed notable invoices and budget items for council consideration. He called out an invoice for wildlife removal (listed as AAA C wildlife removal, $3,200) and said he would investigate the line item. He also noted several tourism-grant entries, a J M Brennan HVAC maintenance contract, and charges from Amazon Capital Services that reflect Park & Recreation and library purchases.

Mark specifically flagged Lantex Services IT charges of $22,000 as an area of concern, saying the IT department is on course to exceed its budget and staff will reduce some work to stay within appropriations. He also said attorney Phil Cole is working on a lawsuit involving Sid Mick and that the city is separating those costs so its deductible would be $37,500.

A motion to accept the bills carried unanimously among council members present. No formal amendments or votes on individual line items were made during the meeting; staff will follow up on the flagged invoices and budget items.
