Council adopts minor language change to code definitions for “day” and “working day”
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 946, amending Title 1 chapter 3 to clarify definitions of 'day' (calendar day) and 'working day' (calendar day excluding Saturdays, Sundays and city‑recognized holidays); council dispensed with three‑reading rule and adopted the ordinance in a single reading.
EAGLE, Idaho — The Eagle City Council adopted Ordinance 946 at the Feb. 11 meeting to clarify code definitions for “day” and “working day.”
Council President May introduced the ordinance clarifying that a “day” means a calendar day and a “working day” excludes Saturdays, Sundays and city‑recognized holidays. The council voted to dispense with the three‑reading rule allowed under Idaho Code section 50‑902 and adopted the ordinance after a single reading by title.
Why it matters: The amendments are a clean‑up to remove ambiguity from code references that rely on the terms “day” and “working day” for administrative deadlines and procedural timeframes.
Ending: The ordinance took effect on adoption; staff will apply the clarified definitions in future interpretive and administrative actions.
