Harwood council advances rezoning and annexation ordinances at special meeting
Summary
At a Nov. 12 special meeting, the Harwood City Council held second readings and approved a rezoning ordinance and two annexation ordinances for parcels described as S ½ of 4-140-49 and W ½ of 3-140-49; minutes record unanimous "aye" votes and note a resident comment after adjournment.
President Dick Sundberg called a special meeting of the Harwood City Council to order at 6:00 p.m. on Nov. 12, 2025, and the council conducted second readings and approved ordinances related to the rezoning and annexation of two parcels described in the minutes as S ½ of 4-140-49 and W ½ of 3-140-49.
During the meeting, the council completed a second reading of a rezoning ordinance for S ½ of 4-140-49. Councilmember Chris Higgins moved the second reading, Jamie Nettum seconded, and the minutes state "All in favor voted aye," with the motion carried. The council then held the second reading of an annexation ordinance for the same S ½ of 4-140-49 parcel; Higgins moved and Chris Fix seconded, and the minutes again record "All in favor voted aye," noting the motion carried.
The council also conducted the second reading of an annexation ordinance for W ½ of 3-140-49. Chris Fix moved the second reading, Chris Higgins seconded, and the minutes report "All in favor voted aye," with the motion carried on second reading.
A motion to adjourn, made by Chris Fix and seconded by Chris Higgins, was recorded as carried with all in favor voting aye; the minutes list the adjournment time as 5:05 p.m., which conflicts with the recorded 6:00 p.m. start time and appears to be a typographical error in the draft minutes. The minutes further note a public sign-in listing Brock Hansen, Joseph Cecil, Sam Sindelar, Mike Swartz and Dennis and Marge Lonski; after adjournment, the minutes record that Mike Swartz offered comments to the council.
The minutes name Chayla Hansen as city auditor and show Mayor Blake Hankey absent from the meeting. The document is marked as a draft and carries signature lines for Mayor Blake Hankey and Auditor Chayla Hansen and a date-of-approval placeholder.
No individual roll-call vote tallies were recorded in the minutes beyond the repeated "All in favor voted aye" notation; the draft minutes do not specify individual yes/no votes or counts. The city clerk or auditor will normally file the approved ordinance texts and the finalized minutes after signature and date of approval.
