Coffeyville commission approves multiple resolutions, holds first readings of two ordinances

Next steps: Several items were first readings (the Hops Around Town ordinance and the CRMC ordinance) and will return for additional reading(s) as required. Multiple construction and procurement contracts now proceed toward implementation and grant submittal steps.

Votes-at-glance provenance: The consent agenda and initial appropriation reading begin in the meeting packet and were read aloud at the start of business. Individual resolutions and ordinances were presented by department directors and moved by commissioners in sequence through the evening.
