On Oct. 7, 2024 the Kalona City Council unanimously approved the first readings of ordinances 2024-355 (minutes publication), 2024-356 (electronic meetings) and 2024-357 (fiscal management). Each ordinance passed its first reading by roll call vote.
The Kalona City Council on Oct. 7 approved the first readings of three separate ordinance amendments addressing publication of minutes, electronic meetings and fiscal management.
Council Member G Schmidt moved and Council Member Beisheim seconded the first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-355, which amends the city's code regarding how meeting minutes are published; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call. Council Member Spitzer moved and Council Member Bender seconded the first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-356 to amend provisions for electronic meetings; that motion also passed unanimously. Council Member G Schmidt moved and Council Member J Schmidt seconded the first reading of Ordinance No. 2024-357, addressing fiscal management provisions; the motion carried by unanimous roll call.
Each of the three measures received a recorded yes vote from Council Members Bender, J Schmidt, G Schmidt, Spitzer and Beisheim, and the mayor declared the motions carried. The agenda and minutes of the Oct. 7 meeting reflect that these were recorded as first readings; the council did not take final action on any of the ordinances at this meeting.
The actions were procedural votes recorded in the council minutes. The record states the motions passed by roll call but provides no additional text from council members debating substantive changes in the ordinances.
