Council adopts ordinance, approves block-wall bid and schedules annexation steps

The Yuma City Council adopted an ordinance and moved to the second related action: approving a bid award for construction of a block wall connected to the ordinance.

The presiding officer announced the next action was to approve the bid award. Councilman Morris moved to approve consent item MC 20-26 S-fifteen; a council member seconded the motion and the motion received affirmative responses at the meeting.

City staff presented a planned annexation associated with the item, saying the parcel will be zoned agriculture and that connections to city utilities will be required for future development. Staff said an ordinance introduction is scheduled for March 4 and an ordinance adoption is scheduled for March 18, contingent on receipt of signed annexation petitions.
