5796893 · September 19, 2025

Summary

Hooper City Council adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to update the city’s stormwater code, a change prompted by audit findings that the city lacked a current ordinance; the ordinance passed on a roll-call vote with five council members recorded as 'Aye.'

The council approved Ordinance 2025-04, an update to Hooper’s stormwater regulations, by roll-call vote after a brief discussion referencing a recent audit that flagged the absence of an updated stormwater ordinance.

Council Member Wilcox moved to adopt the ordinance, Council Member Fowers seconded, and the council conducted a roll-call vote. The transcript records the following affirmative votes: Council Member Wilcox, Council Member Hill, Council Member Maragone, Council Member Northrop and Council Member Fowers. The mayor declared the motion carried.

Why it matters: The city’s auditor identified the lack of a current stormwater ordinance as a finding; adopting Ordinance 2025-04 brings the municipal code into compliance with audit expectations and provides the legal framework for stormwater management and related enforcement.

Next steps: The city will publish the adopted ordinance as required and pursue any administrative steps necessary to implement the updated stormwater rules.

Ending: The council completed the roll-call vote and moved to adjourn following final procedural items.
