Aurelia council adopts three ordinance changes, waiving further readings
Summary
The Aurelia City Council on Aug. 25 approved three changes to the city code—on public hearing procedures, false representation of service animals, and cigarette/tobacco permits—waiving second and third readings so each took effect promptly. All present council members voted aye; one member was absent.
The Aurelia City Council voted Aug. 25 to adopt three amendments to the city code, moving each from first reading to immediate adoption by waiving second and third readings.
Council Member Nelson moved to approve Ordinance No. 714, an amendment to public hearing requirements in the Aurelia Code of Ordinances; Council Member Johnson seconded. The council then voted to waive the second and third readings and adopt the ordinance the same evening, with Council Members Bruce, Johnson, Redig and Nelson recording “aye” votes and Council Member Fassler absent.
Nelson also moved first reading of Ordinance No. 715, which would add a new section prohibiting false representation of service animals in the city code; Bruce seconded. The council again voted to waive remaining readings and adopt Ordinance No. 715 that night by unanimous vote of those present.
The council approved Ordinance No. 716, amending provisions related to cigarette and tobacco permits, after Nelson moved and Johnson seconded its first reading. Members voted to waive the second and third readings and adopt the ordinance immediately; Fassler was recorded as absent.
The measures were handled during the regular council meeting amid routine agenda items and department reports. No public testimony or contested votes were recorded in the meeting minutes for these items. The council’s action means the code amendments will proceed without the delay of additional readings; the minutes do not specify exact effective dates.
