Wimberley policy changes made after withdrawal mix-up

A $200 withdrawal by Wimberley Mayor Susan Jaggers from the city’s bank account in November 2018 eventually prompted a policy change in how the city’s money is handled, according to a News-Dispatch investigation.

Part of that information came from documents, as well as copies of emails between city staff and city council members, that were requested via Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Those documents were approved by the Texas Attorney General’s Office weeks after Wimberley officials fought their release.

According to the documents, Jaggers withdrew $200 from the city’s bank account, which she said was an error on the part of Ozona Bank during a transaction.
