City Clerk Irma affirmed that statement but also added that these funds would come out from the General Fund since the city doesn\u2019t have the Splost Committee approval yet and the city needs that truck; but then, after the approval, Mayor Webster will write a check from the SPLOST 6 account for $46,983.00 to reimburse the City General Fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>CITIZENS REQUESTING TO SPEAK<\/strong> \u2013N\/A<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>ADJOURNMENT:<\/strong> Councilman Thomas Gary motioned to adjourn the Special Called Meeting; Councilman Lamar Watkins seconded, and all were in favor. <strong>The meeting was adjourned at 6:38 pm.-<\/strong><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Announcements:<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Next Daisy Festival Meeting \u2013 February 28th, 2023 at 6:30pm \u2013 Library Annex<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>*Next Council Meeting \u2013 March 6<sup>th<\/sup>, 2023 at 6:30pm<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>______________________________________________________________________________Approved by City Clerk for Website<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nicholson Council Meeting Minutes Monday, February 27th, 2023 6:30 P.M.
