Mr. Nash stated that Redmond Minerals has over paid their taxes which would require that Aurora City give back to Redmond Minerals, $11,343.00. The Council discussed with Mr. Nash how exactly this overpayment occurred and what is required from Sevier County, Sevier School District and Aurora City to make the situation better. Mr. Nash stated that Aurora City could take two or more years to pay the money back or do it all in one year. Aurora City expressed frustration in that they were currently in the middle of their fiscal year and that no one had contacted Aurora City to make them aware of the situation. Mr. Nash stated that a decision needs to be made before December 1, 2025 because that is the tax payment deadline. Since the matter was not on the agenda, it would be necessary to hold a special meeting with an agenda item in order to make a decision as to how to handle the situation. The Council decided that they would hold the special meeting on Monday November 24, 2025. 3- OPENING OF BIDS FOR THE ALIS-CHALMERS 5030 TRACTOR- Mayor Quarnberg informed the Council that Aurora City had placed their Alis-Chalmers 5030 tractor up for bid.
