Hamilton City Council used its legislative block on Nov. 13 to consider and adopt a series of ordinances and emergency measures covering codification updates, health‑code amendments, solid‑waste contracting, fee revisions, storm‑water rates, property conveyances, and multiple bond and note authorizations.
Notable adopted items included:
• Adoption of the 2024 replacement pages to the codified ordinances (second reading) — motion moved and adopted by roll call.

Most of the bond and note measures were presented as emergency ordinances and adopted on second reading following motions to suspend rules where appropriate.
