The West Fargo City Commission approved several ordinances and routine measures at its Jan. 5 meeting.

Jerry Wallace, City Engineer, presented the second reading of a Floodplain Management Ordinance Amendment, which staff said implements changes tied to Senate Bill 2027 and maintains compliance with the Century Code. Commissioner Anderson moved to adopt the second reading and Commissioner Olsen seconded; the commission adopted the amendment by voice vote.

City Administrator Dustin Scott asked the commission to adopt Ordinance 12-66 related to the Municipal Judge; Scott said the first reading was approved Dec. 15 and Judge Barkas had offered comments during that earlier public hearing. Commissioner Anderson moved and Commissioner Jorgensen seconded adoption of Ordinance 12-66 on second reading; the commission adopted it by voice vote.

Earlier in the meeting, the commission approved the order of the agenda, the minutes of Dec. 15, building permits (with Commissioner Jorgensen recused) and the consent agenda (items A through F) by voice votes.
