Summary
At a recent Mills City Council meeting, members approved Ordinance 8-19 vacating an 8.63-acre parcel, adopted fees for property inspections, approved bank agreement extensions, authorized equipment purchases, wrote off EMS charges, and authorized hiring outside counsel; the council also convened multiple executive sessions.
The Mills City Council approved a series of ordinances, resolutions, agreements and administrative actions during the meeting. Major items included the third-and-final-reading approval of Ordinance 8-19 vacating an 8.63-acre parcel, approval of Resolution 2025-14 (a development plan for a commercial addition for Lyle Bench), adoption of Resolution 2025-15 to set an initial fee for property inspections, an extension and later approval of a one-year agreement with Jonah Bank, purchase approval for a Barna HydroVac trailer, authorization to write off uncollectible EMS charges, and authorization to hire outside counsel. The council also entered multiple executive sessions for legal and personnel matters; personnel-session minutes note that no action was necessary in one instance.
Votes at the meeting were recorded verbally with multiple "Aye" responses; the transcript shows each motion carried with affirmative votes noted by the presiding officer. The consent agenda was approved. Ordinance 8-19, described by the presiding officer as vacating an 8.63-acre parcel of the former Wyoming Boulevard and transferring it to Mobile Concrete, passed on third reading after a motion: "I move that we approve ordinance number 8 19, the vacation on the third and final reading." The council voted in favor and the motion passed.
The council approved Resolution 2025-15, adopting an initial fee for resident or property-owner inspections of developed lots. The council also approved a 90-day extension to the Jonah Bank change-in-terms agreement and subsequently approved a new one-year agreement after a separate motion.
Other administrative actions approved included the purchase of a Barna HydroVac trailer and a motion to write off EMS charges as uncollectible. The council voted to hire outside counsel following an executive session on a legal matter. Multiple motions to enter executive session for legal and personnel matters were approved by council vote; at least one personnel executive session concluded with no action required.
The transcript records multiple motions to go into executive session, and each was approved by voice vote. The meeting ended after a motion to adjourn that passed with unanimous "Aye" votes recorded in the transcript.
