Summary

On second reading the council considered Ordinance 894 to vacate part of an alley between lots 55 and 56 (block 12). The roll‑call vote was 4–1 (mayor voted no), so the ordinance will return to council in July for final action per procedure.

The council took up Ordinance 894 on second reading, which would vacate a portion of a 13.67‑foot‑wide alley between lots 55 and 56 in block 12, and reserve necessary easements.

The ordinance title was read twice by title as required for adoption on second reading, and the council took a roll‑call vote. The vote on second reading was four in favor and one opposed (the mayor), so the ordinance will be brought back at the next meeting in July for another roll‑call vote per council procedure.

Council members who voted yes said the ordinance conforms to the requirements for alley vacation; the mayor stated his opposition and indicated he would vote no, so the item will return for the July agenda.
