TOWN OF BROADUS
Regular Council Meeting
January 3, 2023 @ 6:00 pm
Present at the meeting were Mayor Chad Gatlin, Councilperson Lori Turnbough, Councilperson Raevyn Slovek, Councilperson Wanda Smith, Councilperson Cody Morris, Public Works Raymond Ragsdale, Clerk Josie Morris, and Guest Sheriff Devin Boman.
Mayor Gatlin called the meeting to order at 5:58 pm. Following the Pledge of Allegiance, Clerk Morris reminded everyone that the new ordinance goes into effect on January 20th and that a reminder will be posted in the paper and on the town Facebook page. Clerk Morris asked if anyone on the council or the sheriff has had any comments or concerns from the public; nothing major was inquired.
Clerk Morris then brought up the new cash receipting software that the auditor requested us to put into place that will assist the clerk in account management, reconciliation and organization of all payment methods, payment history, etc. When council had no objections, Clerk Morris proceeded to ask the council their opinions on online billing and present them with software installation and annual maintenance quotes. The council agreed that more input on this from the community is required before a decision can be made.
Public Works Ragsdale gave the council an overview of frozen and/or broken pipes that he dealt with during the cold spell and he did not have anything further of importance. Mayor Gatlin asked Ragsdale for an update on the lagoon and its functioning status. Public Works Ragsdale stated that all was well.
Public Works Zimmer was not in attendance but had Clerk Morris inform the council on the cylinder that he had to purchase for “Sandy” as the cylinder was damaged during the last large snow storm during snow removal and maintenance. This cylinder was not budgeted for but can be covered by the remaining budget.
With no further business before the Council, councilperson Morris moved to adjourn. Councilperson Turnbough seconded the motion. Mayor Gatlin adjourned this meeting of the Broadus Town Council at 6:39 pm.
Chad Gatlin, Mayor
Josie Morris, Clerk
