Motion by Weierke to approve the minutes as presented for the February 23, 2026,
meeting. Seconded by Wohlers, Motion Carried.
3. New Business (None)
4. Approve Bills
a. Director Powell presented the bills for approval and clarified vendors/amounts as
needed. The overpayment refund disbursements are related to closing properties;
it results from the estimated final bill being higher than the actual final. These
overpayment refunds have occurred for years. The disbursement reports previously
provided by Finance had these types of payments filtered out. Since using the new
financial software, we have started running the report without filtering out
overpayments.
Motion by Weierke to approve the bills in the amount of $40,252.74, Seconded by
Snobeck, Motion Carried.
