The Warren City Council amended its May 20 agenda to add several items and to remove one ordinance for additional legal review, the council recorded during the meeting.
A council official said the council was adding “as 11 a under miscellaneous … the water and sewage disposal system revenue bond series 2025 notice of intent resolution,” and adding item 10B as an administrative hearing for “Chalmers.” The official also said the council would add item 12D for the city community garden lease approval and remove item 12A, an ordinance the official said had been placed on the agenda in error because “the city attorney's office has 10 days to review any ordinance the council passes on a first reading.”
Why it matters: adding a notice of intent for a revenue bond and a community garden lease puts potential financial and land-use matters on a future decision path. Removing the ordinance for attorney review signals the council is allowing the required review period before taking final action.
Council action and vote: The transcript records a motion to adopt the agenda with the listed additions and removals and shows council members voting in the affirmative. The roll call in the excerpt shows: Miss Moore — yes; Mister Lafferty — yes; Mister Dwyer — yes; Mister Boiecki — yes; Mister Noonan — yes; Miss McGee — yes; Grogan C. — yes. The official recorded, “Motion carries.”
Details and context: The transcript does not include the text of the proposed bond resolution, dollar amounts, or the draft garden lease. The record only indicates the council added a “water and sewage disposal system revenue bond series 2025 notice of intent resolution,” and that an ordinance earlier passed on first reading was removed to permit the city attorney’s 10-day review. The administrative hearing labeled “Chalmers” is noted as already having had a public hearing in a prior meeting and is being treated as an administrative item.
Next steps: The bond notice, the Chalmers administrative hearing, and the garden lease appear to be scheduled for later consideration; specifics and any formal votes on those items are not contained in the supplied excerpt.
