Mayor announces veto of ordinance change requiring stamped architectural plans for single‑family permits
Summary
Mayor Billy Yeomans announced a veto of a Dec. 13 council action that would have required architect‑stamped plans for single‑family residence building permit applications (sec. 10‑105 of the city code); the council has two meetings to attempt an override, which would require five votes.
Mayor Billy Yeomans announced at the Jan. 10 council meeting that he will veto Item #8 from the Dec. 13 meeting, which would have amended section 10‑105 of the Cochran Code of Ordinances to require architect‑stamped plans for single‑family residence building permit applications.
At the Dec. 13 vote on that item the council voted 3 against and 2 in favor on a motion to approve the amendment; the mayor said that outcome prompted his veto notice. He told the council they have two subsequent meetings in which an override can be attempted; five affirmative votes would be required to overturn the veto.
The minutes record the mayor’s veto announcement but do not include further debate or any immediate motion to override. The item remains pending for future council consideration.
