Garfield approves Sutherland annexation and invokes emergency clause
Summary
The council unanimously approved Ordinance 217 (Sutherland annexation), suspended the rule requiring three readings, and invoked the emergency clause to make the ordinance effective immediately.
Recorder-Treasurer Christal Allen read proposed Ordinance 217 (Sutherland Annexation) by title at the May 13 meeting. After the title reading, Council Member Kitterman moved to suspend the requirement that ordinances be read on three separate occasions; Council Member Teeselink seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
Council Member Rambo then moved to approve Ordinance 217; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call. Council Member Teeselink moved to invoke the emergency clause for the ordinance and Council Member Rambo seconded; that motion also passed unanimously, signaling the council intended the annexation to take immediate effect under the council’s enacted emergency clause.
The meeting transcript does not record debate about the annexation’s terms or details of the land being annexed beyond the ordinance title and council actions recorded. The council recorded no votes against and no abstentions.
Because the council invoked the emergency clause, the ordinance’s effective timing is immediate according to the council action recorded; the transcript does not state further administrative steps or effective-date language beyond the emergency motion and recorded approvals.
