Libby council adopts parking ordinance, approves salary resolution and routine permits
Summary
At its July 8 meeting the Libby City Council adopted Ordinance 2056 (right‑of‑way parking controls), approved Resolution 2057 setting wages, and granted a series of event and road‑use permits; votes were recorded by voice with no detailed roll-call tallies in the transcript.
The Libby City Council on July 8 adopted Ordinance 2056 to define and restrict parking on the city right‑of‑way and approved Resolution 2057 setting salaries and wages for elected officials and city employees ahead of the new fiscal year.
The ordinance, described in the council’s preamble as amending Title 1 and Title 10 of the Libby Municipal Code to add a right‑of‑way definition and controls on parking, passed on a motion and second during the meeting’s second reading. Council members voiced no substantive objections during public comment or the council discussion recorded in the transcript.
The council also voted to approve Resolution 2057, which staff said streamlines payroll by applying the cost‑of‑living adjustment (1.5 percent) and CBA increases (1 percent) that had already been budgeted. Finance staff told the council the timing helps payroll processing for the July 1 fiscal start.
In the same session the council approved several routine items by voice vote: minutes from the June 26 meeting, all claims presented to the council, business‑license applications (including a listing for an operation at 254 Avenue B), and event permits. The council granted a street‑closure and open‑container exception for the September chainsaw‑carving event, a noise variance through 1 a.m. on Aug. 9–10 for the Riverfront Blues Festival, and a short street closure for Timberline (the council noted Councilor Zimmerman’s recusal on that item).
All approvals were handled as individual motions followed by a voice vote; the transcript records the motions as carried but does not provide a roll‑call tally or a record of individual council votes.
The council ended the meeting by deferring several unfinished items (including a scooter program and a community development fund discussion) for future meetings.
