Summary
Summary of formal motions and outcomes recorded during the Feb. 24 Georgetown City Council meeting, including ceremonial resolution, event permits, purchase orders, and ordinance first readings.
This roundup lists formal actions and recorded outcomes (motions, seconds, and voice-vote outcomes) taken by the Georgetown City Council on Feb. 24, 2025, as captured in the meeting transcript. Where the transcript did not record tallied roll-call counts, items are listed with the outcome as stated at the meeting.
- Resolution honoring former mayor Everett Varney: Motion to introduce and adopt the resolution; council voted by voice and the motion passed.
- Approval of minutes: Motion made and adopted by voice vote.
- Events applications - Kiwanis Club July 4 parade (close Main Street from Military to Broadway): Motion to approve passed by voice vote. - Findlay 5K (August 2): Council voted to postpone the permit request (motion to postpone passed by voice vote); staff to return with additional information related to insurance and ordinance timing.
- Special Events Ordinance (first reading): Council conducted a first reading and adopted several substantive amendments by voice vote (increase application fee to $75; add refundable deposit requirement of $250 for nonprofits and $500 for for-profit events; require resident notifications; exempt civic-sponsored events from some timing rules). Because amendments were substantive, staff will return with a revised ordinance for another first reading.

- Zone change and annexation for Paddock at Jennings Farm: First readings held for both rezoning (A-1 to B-5 PUD, C-1, R-1C PUD, R-3 PUD) and the annexation ordinance for a 120.38-acre portion; planning commission had recommended approval in December 2024; council deferred final action pending more detailed development materials.
- Council committee schedule change: Motion approved to amend the regular police committee meeting time (changed as recorded in the resolution).
Notes: The transcript records votes by voice for most motions and records the chair’s announcement that the motion passed; it does not provide roll-call tallies for those votes. Where the transcript explicitly recorded mover and seconder, that is recorded above. Several items (including the special-events ordinance) were amended at first reading and will return for an updated first reading and additional action.
