Hills council reviews proposed water ordinance changes; staff to send revisions to city attorney
Summary
City staff reviewed suggested edits to the municipal water ordinance and council indicated general support; City Administrator Adriane Sedlacek will forward the draft changes to the City Attorney to prepare formal ordinance language.
City Administrator Adriane Sedlacek and Deputy Clerk Frembgen-Kesner reviewed proposed changes to Hills’ water ordinance during the May 11 council meeting. Council members signaled they were comfortable with the suggested edits, and Sedlacek said she will send the revisions to the City Attorney to draft formal ordinance language for future council consideration.
The discussion did not include final ordinance language or a vote; Sedlacek characterized the step as a staff-to-attorney review to ensure the suggested edits are legally complete before returning to council for action. No timeline for a formal first-reading or public hearing was set during the meeting.
Why it matters: changes to a municipal water ordinance can affect billing, service rules and enforcement; sending the proposed text to the City Attorney is the standard next step before the council considers an ordinance for introduction and public review.
