LIVE: Special Quincy City Council (includes Oversight, Rules & Ordinance Committees) - June 22, 2026

The Quincy City Council held a special meeting on June 22, 2026, which included oversight and rules and ordinance committee discussions. A significant portion of the meeting focused on addressing a fraud case involving the Council on Aging (COA), where theft and fraudulent vendor activities dating back to 2014 were investigated. The council discussed the lack of a formal fraud policy, the need for improved internal controls such as bonding employees handling cash, annual on-site audits, and the implementation of electronic invoice tracking through the Munis system. The meeting also covered the introduction of a new online payment system to reduce cash transactions. Additionally, the council deliberated on transparency and public access ordinances requiring supplemental materials to be posted 48 hours before meetings, and motions were passed to repeal previous ordinances related to elected officials' salary raises and annual automatic raises, with plans to revisit salary discussions in the fall. The council also addressed procedural issues related to appointments to the Quincy Housing Authority Board and an open meeting law complaint. Several votes were taken to amend and approve ordinances aimed at improving governance and transparency.
