Rockwood council approves agenda and action items, records 100% election audit; resident opposes allowing chickens

The Rockwood City Council on Jan. 7 unanimously approved its meeting agenda and an action agenda that included approval of Dec. 17 council minutes, Dec. 17 study-session minutes and accounts payable.

Council Member Mercure moved to approve the agenda and Council Member Robertson seconded; the minutes record that the ayes were unanimous and the motion carried. Mercure again moved (seconded by Robertson) to approve the action agenda, which was recorded as carried unanimously.

During the public comment period Christine Yanca-Laura, who said she lives at 21823 Roosevelt St., told the council she opposed allowing chickens in the city. The transcript records her objection but includes no formal proposal or ordinance language on the subject.

In the reports section the council was told that the City of Rockwood received a 100% score on its election audit. That item is recorded in the departmental reports portion of the agenda; the transcript does not assign the statement to a specific speaker.

The meeting agenda also listed reports from the administrator, the city attorney and mayoral updates; the provided transcript segments do not contain substantive remarks for those items. Council Member Mercure moved to adjourn later in the session, Council Member Robertson seconded, and the motion carried by unanimous ayes. The meeting minutes were signed by City Clerk Terri Lekity and Mayor Troy Cox.

The council took no recorded votes on ordinances or policy changes during the provided segments beyond the procedural approvals noted above.
