Ozark City Council Meeting, Special Session

Working Budget Meeting

Ozark’s Mayor Roxie Hall called the meeting to order at 5:30p.m. She said the item on the agenda is the
operating budget for 2019. All council members were present; Susan Holman, Aerial Nicely, Brandy
Flanary, Charles Meeker, Dwayne Patterson, and Rex Anderson. City attorney Kevin Barham was also
present.

Susan began by stating she felt we had spent way more money that she thought and has questions.
First, she wants the Bond Tax line item to read Sales Tax Revenue.

Mayor Hall asked to not receive the 3% raise that everyone else received on the 1 st of January, so Clerk
Eveld removed that. Next, she removed the $100,000 matching grant out of Street per Jody’s
instruction.

The city website was discussed, and Roxie felt that going with a company may be a better option for the
city.

Next Susan questioned Marla’s salary and title. She said that Marla’s salary had jumped $9000 in one
year. Then she said she didn’t believe we had spent $700,000 in three months. Clerk Eveld said that she
would look at Marla’s salary, and the bank was in balance but there were some issues with the
fraudulent check that caused us to close our General Fund account at the bank.

Finally, council decided to take out the help Clerk Eveld asked for for city Hall and adding in $394,174.97
carried forward from 2018 to make the budget balance.
Holman moved to read Resolution 2019-1, seconded by Patterson. On a roll call vote the following
