New business was the highlight for Tuesday night's Coffeyville City Commission meeting.
Mayor Paul Bauer opened the meeting with the review of the agenda following roll call and the Pledge of Allegiance.
The Commissioners reviewed the consent agenda which featured City Commission meeting minutes and the 2020 Appropriation Ordinance No. AO-20-07 in the amount of $923,583.99. After some discussion regarding the specifics of the ordinance, Mayor Bauer made the motion to approve the consent agenda and was seconded by Commissioner Ann Marie Vannoster. The Commissioners unanimously approved the consent agenda.
Usually there is a portion of the meeting that is designated for public comments however with the Executive order in place there have been some slight changes to the meetings going forward so there was no public in attendance to provide any feedback of topics and the Commission acknowledged and wanted to thank the public for their understanding during these unusual circumstances.
Plenty of new business was discussed on the agenda including appointments for the Coffeyville Recreation Commission Board as well as the Public Library Board of Directors appointment.
The Appointments for the Coffeyville Recreation Commission Board included applicants Lisa Collins and Allen Gillis. Mayor Bauer made a motion to approve the appointments and Commissioner Vannoster seconded the motion which was then followed by unanimous approval from the Commissioners. (AUDIO)
