Sheridan’s City Council approved a new software system for the city, but the vote was split 4-2 after an unsuccessful effort to table the decision. Action came at the council’s meeting earlier this week. The vote divided over an issue of liability, with Councilor Jacob Martin voicing the question. Martin originally moved to table the matter pending a report to the Council by City Attorney Brendon Kerns on the liability question. That motion failed for lack of a second. City Treasurer Karen Burtis said she believed there was a clause in the contract regarding recovery, but she didn’t recall the details. The Council approved the purchase with a caveat that Kerns brief the Council on liability.
