At the March 10, 2026 meeting, the council approved the second reading of an ordinance the transcript identifies as 2026-02, described as granting a franchise for a communications system in the town referenced in the recording as 'Bear River.'
Agency official (Speaker 1) moved to approve the second reading: "I'll make the motion to, to approve the second reading ordinance 2 0 6 dash 0 2," per the transcript. Committee member (Speaker 4) pointed out inconsistent wording in the reading — noting the verbiage "says 20 o 6 or 26 dash o 2" and asking that the record match the spoken number. Chair Owen acknowledged the discrepancy but the council proceeded with a second and recorded the vote as "Aye." No roll-call tally appears in the recorded segments.
The transcript contains garbled or inconsistent spellings and numbers (including variations of the town name and the ordinance number).
