Treasurer Andrew Nelson presented the authority’s September financial report and motions to approve several third-quarter payments. Nelson said the authority began the statement period with $710,721.29, had checks and payments clearing of $112,766.66, deposits totaling $8,478.96 (including $978.98 in interest), and an ending balance of $606,433.65.

Nelson moved to approve the October 2025 treasurer’s report; the motion carried on a voice vote with no roll-call tally recorded in the minutes.

During the financial section the authority approved the following disbursements by voice vote, as recorded in the meeting minutes:

- Daley Law Firm, third-quarter invoice: $2,562.50.
- Mejgan Technologies, invoice 1026 (third-quarter invoice): $4,050.00.
- Brinker Simpson, invoice 52218 (third-quarter payment): $4,066.25.
- Spirit Media Group, invoice DCGRA-13 for advertisement notice: $233.30.

Nelson also moved to revise the agreement with Mejgan Technologies to a monthly rate of $1,400, an amendment later approved by the authority (effective November 2025). Members discussed whether contractor services should be billed hourly or as a flat monthly rate; some said hourly billing provides more transparency, while others saw the monthly arrangement as appropriate for consistent services.

Nelson reported that all emergency management grant funds had been distributed and that outstanding grants were those tied to county council approvals, including arts and culture and special grants approved at a recent county council meeting.
