Council hears, adopts ordinance to change sewer charges; transcript shows inconsistent city name
Summary
The council suspended the rules to hear and then adopted Ordinance 20 26-10 to amend the schedule of charges and fees for sewer services. The ordinance text as spoken in the meeting alternately referred to 'Bronzeville' and 'Bryceville' in the transcript; the record on the floor did not reconcile that inconsistency.
Council members moved to suspend the rules and hear Ordinance 20 26-10, described during the meeting as amending the schedule of charges and fees for sewer services.
A council member read portions of the ordinance on the floor: "This ordinance can amend the schedule of break charges and fees to be charged for sewer services in the city of Bronzeville." The motion to hear and the subsequent motion to adopt the ordinance carried on a roll call vote.
The meeting transcript later contains a different place name when reading the ordinance text, using "Bryceville" in a subsequent line. The record on the floor did not clarify or correct that inconsistency; the body of the ordinance on the official docket should be checked for the authoritative city name.
Implementation details such as the new rate schedule, fee amounts and the ordinance's effective date were not read aloud in full during the floor discussion or were not captured in the meeting transcript. The council did not record additional hearings on the item during this meeting.
