Summary
At its June 16 meeting the Norton City Council adopted an emergency contract for a Hillcrest drainage study and approved several ordinances and resolutions. Council also waived the third reading for a fire levy renewal resolution to meet county certification deadlines for the November ballot.
The Norton City Council took several formal actions June 16. Key outcomes recorded on the meeting record are listed below.
- Ordinance 50 20 25 — Adopted. Authorized an agreement with GPD Group for the Hillcrest Drive neighborhood drainage study in an amount not to exceed $40,100; adopted as an emergency measure by roll call.
- Ordinance 51 20 25 — Adopted. Amends section 2.4.2.14 (emergency ambulance services) of the city codified ordinances; adopted by roll call.
- Ordinance 54 20 25 — Adopted. Amends section 2.50.04 (street index) to officially include Panther Way in the city listing; adopted by roll call. Council clarified Panther Way remains the school's responsibility for paving if applicable.
- Resolution/Ordinance 55 20 25 — Waiver and adoption. Council moved to waive the third reading and later adopted the resolution declaring it necessary to submit a renewal tax levy (fire apparatus, operations and emergency medical services) for county certification to place on the November ballot. Council discussed timelines and asked staff to send the measure to the county for certification; the council noted July 7 would be the final meeting to complete related steps before the statutory deadline.
Several other items (including ordinances authorizing equipment purchases, a rotary lift, ODOT consent for Route 261 resurfacing, and a five-year extension with Republic Services) were added for first reading and will return to council for subsequent readings and final votes.
All recorded roll-call votes on the adopted measures at the June 16 meeting were recorded as unanimous in favor by council members present; no negative votes were recorded on the adopted items documented in the transcript.
