city council

The only new spending approved at the December 9, 2025 meeting was $4,643 for the Maxcy D. Filer Square street designation, passed 5-0; the structured agenda shows $4,560 of that total paid to a single vendor, El Gran Torino Corporation, with the remaining $83.01 listed as a separate line item — no additional vendor description or sole-source justification appears in the available materials, and the payment is split across two line items with no explanation provided. The council voted 5-0 to receive and file $89,369 in city credit card charges covering January through June 2025, but this is a financial records item, not a new spending authorization; the assistant city manager stated the purchasing card program has been suspended pending a formal investigation and asked that council not discuss the charges publicly to avoid compromising that investigation. The council voted 5-0 to amend the Olympics/Tourism Committee ordinance, increasing membership from 9 to 11 — the change was made on the floor after both original motions were withdrawn and re-entered — and the Key to the City Policy resolution was tabled when both movers withdrew their motions, with council directing staff to return the item with language distinguishing the honor from routine proclamations; neither item carries a disclosed expenditure. The charter committee reconvening (Item 4) was discussed but not voted on, with council directing staff to return the item the following week with stipend and skill-set recommendations; at least eighteen members of the public spoke during audience comments, with the largest concentrations addressing the mayor's announced intent to formally request removal of a Public Safety Commission member, Richland Farms parking permits, and the suspended credit card investigation.
