Council/Mayor
comments consisted of the following:
visual timeline for the Action Plan and set August 24th after
the council meeting for a work session.
There was
public input from Mike Chappa. He asked
about the timeframe for adopting ordinances.
Council members explained that an ordinance requires three readings at
three different meetings, unless the council decides to waive the second and
third readings, then it can be passed at the first meeting. It then needs to be published in the Story
City Herald before becoming effective.
So it can take anywhere from ten days to six weeks depending on the
ordinance and citizen input.
With no
further business at this time, Johnson moved adjournment of the meeting at 6:42
pm, seconded by Canny. All were in
favor. The next regular council meeting
will be Monday, August 24, 2009 at 6:00 p.m. at City Hall with a council work
session to follow.
