Votes
Approved a contract amendment with Armistead Investigative Services
8 to 0
Why This Vote Matters
The city council unanimously approved spending up to $20,000 more on an ongoing investigation by Armistead Investigative Services, bringing the total contract limit to $30,000. The original $10,000 contract proved insufficient as the investigation required more work than initially expected. This means taxpayers will fund additional investigative services, though the city has not disclosed what is being investigated. The vote was routine administrative business, with all eight present council members supporting the contract amendment.
