The discussion revealed that the city had attempted to collect the debt over the past year but decided against sending it to collections due to it being their error. One council member suggested that as former elected officials, they are held to a higher standard and should attempt to recoup taxpayer money, which led to a motion to send the debt to collections or small claims court. The council ultimately voted on a resolution to write off a different debt related to grass mowing charges while opening discussions to resolve the payroll overpayment amicably with the former council member.

In another matter, the council approved the second reading of ordinance 2025-117, a text amendment with no changes from the previous meeting. The ordinance was passed with a roll call vote, and the council authorized a summary of the ordinance for newspaper publication, requiring a five-vote majority.
