The Valley Grande City Council unanimously approved three resolutions at its council meeting on Monday night Valley Grande city hall.

The entire council was present: Mayor Matt Dobbs, council members Tammy Troha, Jimmy Johnson, Ronald Sawyer, Lamar Morgan, Tim White and city clerk Janet Frasier.

The first item passed was Resolution 2019-91, which authorizes Dobbs to move city funds from the operating account at Marion Bank and open a new account at First Cahawba Bank on behalf of the city for the purpose of consolidating the city’s banking. The resolution also included the authorization of Dobbs to open a credit card account on behalf of the city for the purpose of eliminating the use of debit cards.
