Marshall City Council approves emergency management pact with Saline County, zoning change for energy plant and several appointments and licenses
Summary
The council unanimously approved an emergency management agreement with Saline County, rezoned land from IL to IH for the city’s energy project, appointed Elizabeth Bellamy as city attorney (effective April), appointed two planning commission members and approved liquor licenses, and passed an appropriation ordinance to pay city accounts.
The Marshall City Council voted to approve multiple items during the meeting, including an emergency management agreement with Saline County, a zoning classification change tied to the city’s energy project, appointments to city posts, new liquor licenses and an appropriation ordinance covering payment of accounts.
By roll call, council members voted to approve an ordinance authorizing the city to execute an emergency management agreement with Saline County. The motion passed on recorded votes without opposition.
The council also approved an ordinance amending the zoning ordinance to change certain property from IL (Light Industrial) to IH (Heavy Industrial). Council members noted the parcel relates to the location of the Marshall Energy Center and voted in favor on the reading by title and roll call.
On personnel, the council approved the appointment of Elizabeth Bellamy as city attorney; the council recorded that Bellamy will begin working with the outgoing city attorney now and take the post officially in April. The council also approved appointments to the planning and zoning commission: Daniel Brandt was appointed through 2028 and Cody Painter through Nov. 25 (the transcript indicates the latter appointment runs to November of the current year and could be renewed later).
The council approved at least two liquor licenses: a new license for Sinaloa LLC (Jose Gutierrez, managing officer) and a license for Break of Dawn; the latter was moved and seconded and received an affirmative voice vote.
Finally, the council approved an ordinance making appropriations for payment of accounts out of different city funds; that reading passed by roll call without recorded dissent.
Where specific roll-call tallies were read, members responded “yes” in support; the meeting record indicates the measures passed with affirmative votes. No further public hearings or appeals on these items were recorded during the meeting.
