The Mt. Vernon City Council approved several ordinances and resolutions during a March 16 regular meeting at City Hall, including updates to towing procedures, a rezoning for four parcels to allow a manufactured home, and a conditional use to install a propane dispenser at a retail site.
The council voted to approve consolidated vouchers for accounts payable in the amount of $1,285,787.08. Council Member Mike Young moved approval; Joe Gliosci seconded. The motion passed with Gliosci, Tate, Young and Mayor John Lewis voting yes; Council Member Donte Moore was absent.

The council granted rezoning for properties at 907 and 909 Forest Avenue and 1401 and 1407 S. 9th Street, moving those parcels from B-2 (Secondary Business) to R-M2 (Medium Density Residential and Mobile Home).

On non-ordinance business, the council approved a resolution authorizing an agreement with Landmark Aquatic LLC for pool opening, servicing and winterizing at an annual cost of $12,460.00; Landmark Aquatic has performed those services previously and last year completed a three-year agreement. The council also approved a resolution with Alton Family Business LLC under which the company will fill city-owned vacant lots on Woodglen Drive, construct a single-family home and receive the deed to the lot if construction begins within six months and the company complies with the agreement. The city will waive building permit fees under the agreement; if Alton Family Business LLC complies fully it will have the option to acquire any or all of the remaining four lots. Those resolutions passed unanimously among members present (Gliosci, Tate, Young, Lewis), with Moore absent. The Landmark agreement was recorded as Resolution No. 2026-12 and the Alton Family Business agreement as Resolution No. 2026-13.
