MOTION CARRIED: 5-0
Chairman Ptak mentioned how the council has not contributed to local charities or schools in the past and that it may be wise to not change precedence. This item failed to pass due to a lack of a motion. The committee members agreed to deny the request for a donation to LaSalle-Peru Christian School as part of its “Race for Education” fundraiser.
Finance Director Duncan had a couple items to bring up with the committee. He had prepared a revenue/expense report for the general fund, a current loss (min/max) report, and the financial audit. He would like to schedule a meeting to discuss these items more in depth. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, October 13 at 5pm.
Duncan also stated that Hyvee will be at the city council chambers, Wednesday, October 5 from 12:30-2 p.m. for the Flu Shot and COVID Booster shot.
There were no more questions or comments from the public.
Moved by Alderman Thompson and seconded by Alderman Herndon to adjourn the meeting.
