Second reading of Early water-rate ordinance fails on split council vote
Summary
On Aug. 3, 2021 the Early City Council's second reading of Ordinance 326, amending water-rate provisions, failed after a 2–2 roll call (two ayes, two nays) with one councilor absent.
Ordinance 326, which would amend provisions pertaining to water rates in the City of Early code, failed its second reading at the Aug. 3 meeting.
Councilor Summer Schmitt offered the ordinance and Councilor Steven Mason seconded. On a roll call vote the ayes were Mason and Schmitt; the nays were Brian Pickhinke and Tim Langner; Councilor Bill Cougill was recorded absent. Because the second reading did not receive a majority in roll-call form, the ordinance failed at that stage.
The minutes do not record any immediate next steps for revising or reintroducing the ordinance; the council moved on to other business.
