Council enacts Ordinance 20244 and emergency clause
Summary
Pottsville leaders completed three readings of Ordinance 20244 and enacted its emergency clause during a voice vote; the transcript records motions and unanimous 'yes' responses but does not provide a detailed roll-call tally.
Pottsville leaders completed first, second and third readings of Ordinance 20244 and enacted its emergency clause during a regular meeting. The chair called for motions at each reading and the council responded with voice votes recorded in favor.
The ordinance moved through the statutory readings in sequence, with a motion and second recorded for each reading. At the conclusion the chair then entertained a motion to enact the ordinance’s emergency clause; council members signaled assent by voice and the chair announced the motion and second carried. The transcript does not list a roll-call vote or give a numeric tally.
By taking the emergency-clause step, the council signaled intent to make the ordinance effective immediately upon enactment, subject to any statutory requirements for emergency measures. The record provided in the meeting transcript does not include ordinance text details, subsequent implementation steps, or effective dates.
The council covered other business after the ordinance—appointing a new city attorney and discussing local infrastructure and community events—before adjourning.
