The Ironton City Council on Aug. 22 proposed and approved an amendment to ordinance 24-33 that changes Section 3 to remove appendices B and C and to set new bidder requirements for development timelines.
A council member moved to amend ordinance 24-33, saying Section 3 should read that "the successful bidder must begin construction on development within 1 year of purchase and said construction must be conclude within 3 years of purchase." The motion was seconded and brief discussion followed about reading and suspension of rules to allow a third reading the same evening.
Council members voted during a roll-call exchange and the presiding official declared the third reading would proceed "as amended." The motion to suspend the rules for a third reading was put forward and verbal 'Aye' responses were recorded by members on the roll call in the provided transcript.

The transcript does not include a full, itemized roll-call tally mapped to member names in the segment provided.
