Swisher council approves package of routine resolutions, ordinances and board appointments
Summary
The Swisher City Council approved multiple resolutions and ordinances — including final payment for Division Street improvements, reimbursements to Johnson County, a transfer to debt service, zoning‑board reappointments and ordinance amendments on permits and peddlers — mostly by roll call vote.
At its most recent meeting the Swisher City Council approved a package of routine items on the agenda, including intergovernmental payments, fund transfers, reappointments and code updates.
Key actions approved by roll call included: Resolution 76‑2024 authorizing the city’s final payment to the Johnson County Secondary Roads Department for the Division Street Improvement; Resolution 77‑2024 reimbursing Johnson County for costs tied to a Sheely‑property annexation; Resolution 80‑2024 transferring funds from operating funds into the Debt Service fund to cover bond and loan principal and interest; Resolution 79‑2024 reappointing Dean Sturs and Ron Regal to the Zoning Board of Adjustment (terms through Dec. 31, 2029); and Resolution 81‑2024, which sets the city’s permit, zoning and other fees (the resolution contains the fee table the code references).
Council also moved forward on city code amendments: Ordinance 10‑2024 (chapter 122, peddlers, solicitors and transient merchants) and Ordinance 11‑2024 (chapter 124, dance halls) were placed on the docket and handled per agenda procedures with required readings; council waived separate readings where appropriate and advanced the ordinances as presented.
Several items were discussed only briefly during staff presentations and were approved without substantive changes. The council approved motions and recorded votes for these items by roll call during the meeting. The council tabled discussion on a proposed emergency backup snow‑plow contract until the next meeting, instructing staff to have authorization procedures in place for an emergency between meetings.
Next procedural steps: staff will post finalized ordinances and the fee resolution as required, and will bring the snow‑plow contract back for further consideration.
