Council adopts ordinance revising municipal code; holds first reading to account for additional ARPA funds
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance 2025-4499, revising section 505.11c of the city codified ordinances, and held a first reading of Ordinance 2025-4501, a supplemental appropriation ordinance described by the finance director as accounting for additional ARPA funds.
The City of Catasco City Council approved Ordinance 2025-4499 on a third reading, which the clerk read as an ordinance to revise section 505.11c of the codified ordinances of the city. A council member moved to adopt the ordinance, another council member seconded, and the ordinance passed on roll call.
Recorded votes during the adoption roll call show the council voting "yes" on the ordinance (names recorded in the transcript as Hampshire, Galen, Walter, Epperson, Coleman). The presiding officer announced, "Ordinance passes." The ordinance text read into the record identified the section to be revised but the meeting transcript did not include the ordinance’s substantive language beyond the section citation.
During new business, the council also gave a first reading to Ordinance 2025-4501, described by the clerk as "supplemental appropriations for current specialists and other expenditures during the fiscal year ending 12/31/2025." Finance Director Jennifer (surname as in transcript) said she had a first reading that night to account for additional ARPA funds and noted she was working through a transition in finance staff following a retirement.
The first reading was informational; no final vote on Ordinance 2025-4501 occurred at the meeting.
