Council fills multiple commission seats and approves budget amendment; a summary of votes
Summary
Council appointed members to Planning & Zoning and Board of Adjustments, approved a budget amendment for FY 2024–25 and passed consent items. Planning & Zoning appointments passed 5–2 amid an objection over an appointee's past litigation; the Board of Adjustments appointments were unanimous and the budget amendment passed 6–1.
At the meeting council approved several personnel and administrative items:
- Planning & Zoning: Councilor Prince recommended reappointing Jeff Huegli and appointing Anne Cleater, Nelson Minyard and Enrique Lopez to fill four vacancies and nominated Dave Stewart to fill a one‑year term. Councilor Benfield objected to Stewart based on earlier litigation; Prince said he had confirmed the litigation was resolved. The motion passed 5–2.
- Board of Adjustments: The mayor moved to appoint Jeff Smith and Todd Massey to the Board of Adjustments for the stated terms; the motion was seconded and approved unanimously.

- Budget amendment (Ordinance No. 26-01-06-01): Staff explained the ordinance would reallocate savings and transfers to keep the municipal budget balanced for FY 2024–25 (using non‑departmental contract savings on the general fund side and utility side savings as described in the staff report). Council approved the ordinance on a single reading; the motion passed 6–1.
- Consent agenda: Council approved surplus property disposal resolution and the December 4, 2025 meeting minutes; consent items passed unanimously.
