Council records motion to refer amended high‑school loan order to public hearing Jan. 20
City manager order 6.1, an amendment to the high school project loan order, was placed on the Jan. 6 agenda and Councilor Dakota moved that it be referred to a public hearing on Jan. 20, 2026, at 7 p.m. Councilor McDonough was recorded as the second.

Shortly after the motion was made, a councilor stated, "No. I can't second that one," creating an on‑the‑record dispute about whether the motion had a valid second. The excerpt of the transcript provided does not include a roll‑call vote or further procedural resolution of that dispute.

Because the transcript shows the motion language (referral to a public hearing) but does not record a completed vote in this excerpt, the motion is recorded here as having been moved and seconded on the record with a noted dispute about the second; the council clerk did not record the final action in the supplied portion of the transcript.

Next procedural steps (staff reports, public hearing notice publications, or a subsequent council vote) were not recorded in the provided segment.
