Call to Order. Mayor Pro Tem Ice presided over the special meeting of the Holly Board of Trustees on the above date at 7:05 p.m.

Roll was called. All present except Mayor Vance Brian Jr. and Trustee Swisher. The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.

Additions to the Agenda. None.

New Business. Request for Clerk/Treasurer Humrich to be present via telephone due to illness. A motion was made to accept Clerk/Treasurer Humrich as present via telephone by Trustee Lyons. Seconded by Trustee Kissell. Motion carried 4-0. Ordinance 566 – An Ordinance for Interim Financing (first reading). Discussion began with the two options. The first being to approve this Ordinance for Interim Financing with Dream Bank which has the first interim loan for $1,080,000 with interest from this loan to be added on to the back end which will approximately bring it up to $1,100,000 at 4% interest. We will have the option to pay this interest if we choose to. This choice does not slow our continued process with Element Engineering. The second option is to vote no on this Ordinance; this will go back to the legal department with McLiney and Company for revisions, then the two readings for approval and the 30-day wait period, which will cause delays for processing with Element Engineering unless we are willing to pay expenditures out of pocket. A motion was made to approve Ordinance 566 – An Ordinance for Interim Financing (first reading) by Trustee Tefertiller. Seconded by Trustee Melcher. Motion carried 4-0. Approve the contract between Carrigan Excavating and Town of Holly for the sewer project. A request to table this issue until the January 7th 2026 meeting. A motion was made to table the sewer project contract until the January 7th, 2026 meeting by Trustee Lyons. Seconded by Trustee Kissell. Motion carried 4-0.
