Council defers Utility Service Board budget after updated packet not circulated
Summary
Council deferred action on a Utility Service Board budget resolution because an updated packet was sent to the clerk but had not been distributed to council members; the item was rescheduled for the next meeting in two weeks so members can review the updated materials.
Council read Resolution Number 2025, which would have approved the proposed Utility Service Board budget, but the item was postponed after several council members said they had not received an updated packet that had been provided to the clerk that afternoon.
A council member raised concern that the council had not had time to review the updated materials and questioned whether it was appropriate to vote that evening. After a brief exchange, the council agreed to defer the resolution and asked staff to include the updated packet in the next meeting agenda so members have time to review it before action. The presiding official noted the council would consider the item at the meeting in two weeks; later in the adjournment sequence the council confirmed the next meeting date as Tuesday, Nov. 18.
No vote on the Utility Service Board budget was taken at this meeting and council members requested the updated materials be provided with adequate time for review prior to the next hearing.
