Council waives three readings for ordinances on tonight’s agenda
Summary
Conway City Council voted unanimously to waive the three-reading requirement for the ordinances on the agenda, allowing them to be considered and voted on at the same meeting.
The Conway City Council voted 7-0 to waive the three-reading requirement for the ordinances on tonight’s agenda, allowing the items to proceed to immediate consideration and votes.
The waiver was offered by Councilmember Hawkins and seconded; no substantive debate followed. The mayor called for the vote and the motion passed unanimously.
Waiving the three readings is a procedural step that shortens the formal ordinance adoption timeline and is commonly used when councilmembers believe sufficient review has already occurred in committee or at public hearings. The council proceeded to consider several rezoning ordinances and a procurement resolution later in the meeting.
