Summary
At its May 20 meeting the Darien City Council unanimously approved several appointments and reappointments, granted a one-time goat-rental brush-clearing permit for up to 14 days, and held first readings on proposed ordinances addressing leaves/grass on roadways and media productions.
The Darien City Council on May 20 unanimously approved a slate of appointments and reappointments, granted a temporary goat-rental brush-clearing request and held first readings on two proposed ordinances.
Appointments approved by unanimous vote included Jonathan L. Rowe to the Coastal Regional Commission (motion by Councilmember Jeff Ragsdale, second by Councilmember William Collins); the reappointment of Carrie Rath and Rusty Quarterman to the Darien Downtown Development Authority (motion by Councilmember William Collins, second by Councilmember Jeff Ragsdale); and the appointment of Richard Braun to the Industrial Development Authority to fill the unfinished term of Sam Oliver (motion by Councilmember Jeff Ragsdale, second by Councilmember William Collins). The minutes record each vote as unanimous with the five members present.
The council approved a one-time request from Robert Hane to use a goat rental company to clear brush on private property. The approval is explicitly limited to a single instance and must not exceed 14 days (motion by Councilmember Jeff Ragsdale, second by Councilmember Russ Quarterman; vote unanimous).
Council members also held first readings on two proposed ordinances: an addition of Sec. 46-33 addressing leaves and grass on roadways, and a proposed Chapter 19 establishing rules for media productions. The minutes record those items as first readings; no adoption votes or final ordinance language were recorded in the minutes.
Visitor presentation: Lisa Barrett, event coordinator for the Darien McIntosh Chamber of Commerce, delivered a visitor presentation about the 'Red, White & Blue on the Bluff' event; no formal action on the presentation was recorded in the minutes.
Next steps: The appointments took immediate effect as council actions recorded in the minutes; the two ordinances remain at first reading and will require further council action before adoption.
