The Pottsville City Council adopted Ordinance 2026-1 on March 23, 2026, making the mayor’s office a full-time position and revoking Ordinance 2022-7.
During the meeting the Presiding Officer opened final discussion on Ordinance 2026-1, noting it had received two prior readings. The council voted to suspend the rules to allow a third reading by title only, then voted to adopt the ordinance. The clerk recorded roll-call votes in which council members recorded “yes.”
The ordinance was described at the meeting as a final step to establish a full-time mayoral position; no members raised substantive objections during the session. The council followed standard procedure for final reading and adoption, including suspension of the rules and two separate roll calls to approve reading and adoption.
After adoption, the council moved on to other agenda items. The meeting record did not specify an effective date for the new position or budget adjustments tied to the change; those details were not provided in the meeting transcript and were listed as not specified.
