Council approves ordinance revising Centreville Economic Development Authority structure (Ordinance 03-2025)
Summary
The Centreville Town Council voted to approve Ordinance 03-2025, which amends Chapter 20, Article 5 of the town code relating to the Centreville Economic Development Authority (CETA). Publication of the hearing notice was presented before the council voted.
The Centreville Town Council approved Ordinance 03-2025 on April 17, amending Chapter 20, Article 5 of the town code to revise the structure of the Centreville Economic Development Authority (CETA).
Town Manager Carolyn Brinkley presented the certificate of publication as evidence that the public hearing had been advertised before the council took up the ordinance. The council then moved to consider the ordinance and, after brief procedural remarks, took a roll-call vote.
During roll call Council member Huffer recorded an approval; Council member Wirth answered "Yes"; Council Vice President Kiel answered "Yes"; another council member recorded "I'm a yes." The clerk recorded the motion as approved.
What changed: The ordinance text in the meeting packet amends how CETA is constituted and appoints a mix of industry and resident representatives, reflecting previous council discussion about "reinvigorating CETA and changing the makeup from what was previously in the code," council members said during the meeting. The council noted it had received written comments and would consider those as part of the record before the public hearing; the council nevertheless approved the ordinance at the meeting.
Why it matters: The CETA structure determines who represents business and community interests in local economic development decisions and how the authority engages with town economic initiatives.
Documentation: Carolyn Brinkley publicly presented a certificate of publication before the council acted; the council recorded a roll-call vote in open session.
