Mayor opened a special Garden City council meeting on Dec. 10, 2025, to address three agenda items and asked staff to certify the meeting notice and call the roll.

Mr. Wadhams, a city staff member, recapped that the item before the council had been continued from Dec. 8 and informed the council that "the applicant did not post the notice on their property, which is a requirement of Garden City code 8Dash6ADash7B," creating a noticing defect that, in his view, prevented the council from proceeding tonight.

He recommended continuing the public hearing to a date certain so the defect could be cured and proposed Dec. 30 at 6:00 p.m. as a special meeting date; he said other dates (Dec. 29 or Jan. 12) were possible. Council President moved to continue application DSRFY2025-0008 to December 30 at 6:00 p.m. to cure the noticed defect; the motion was seconded.

The clerk called the roll. Council members Jorgensen, Page and Rasmussen voted yes and the motion carried. The mayor announced, "This item will be continued to December 30, this building at 6PM for the reasons stated in the motion."

After the vote Mr. Wadhams recommended that staff, when re-noticing the matter, verify that the applicant has posted on-site and that staff reissue the radius, agency and interested-parties notices so "everybody's advised, everybody has the opportunity to come here and say a piece." An unnamed council member thanked the public for its patience and urged improved diligence on public notices following the recent election cycle.

The council took no further action on the application tonight; the continuance is intended to allow staff and the applicant to cure the posting defect and to ensure due-process notice requirements are met.
