Summary
Council reconsidered Ordinance 25‑18 and voted to table it so the measure can be routed to the planning commission for the required review; councilmembers said the ordinance previously passed this body but missed the planning commission step.
Councilmembers moved to reconsider Ordinance 25‑18 and then tabled the ordinance so it can be sent to the planning commission for review and a public hearing when it returns.
At the meeting Councilmember Marley invoked rule 21 to reconsider Ordinance 25‑18. The clerk read the ordinance, described in the record as amendments to portions of the city zoning code that implement additional articles. Councilmember Marmey said the legislation had previously passed the council but “we missed the step that needs to go through the planning commission,” and indicated the council should table the item so the planning commission can review it. Marmey said when the ordinance returns the council can “take it off the table and do a public hearing on that same night.”
A motion to table Ordinance 25‑18 was made by Councilmember Marmey and seconded by Councilmember Koss. The motion to table passed by a 9–0 roll call vote.
Nut graf: The action is procedural: councilmembers characterized the tabling as a corrective step to complete the planning‑commission review required under the city's zoning process; the ordinance is not substantively changed in the meeting discussion.
The record does not contain the planning commission's written recommendation or a schedule for when the planning commission will review the ordinance; councilmembers indicated the ordinance will be reintroduced for a public hearing after the planning commission completes its review.
