Council approves minutes and appoints Elizabeth Yeats to Board of Zoning Appeals; ordinances discussed but not decided
Summary
Council approved the 09/08/2025 minutes by voice vote and appointed Elizabeth Yeats to the Board of Zoning Appeals; the council discussed ordinances including a second reading and business-license amendments but recorded no final votes on those measures.
At the start of new business, Mayor Eric Aroma Woods asked for a motion to approve the minutes of the Sept. 8, 2025 regular session. The mayor recorded a motion by Council member Padgett, a second by Council member Arm, and a voice vote in which all present signified 'Aye.' Individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the transcript.
Later, Mayor Woods introduced a nomination for the Board of Zoning Appeals: Elizabeth Yeats, a resident of Higgins Drive who has lived in Liberty for less than a year. Yeats was not present. The nomination was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; the mayor described Yeats’s interest in community involvement and noted she holds a bachelor’s degree from Pleasant University.
In old business the council considered Ordinance 2025-08 (a parcel matter, second reading) and Ordinance 2025-05 (amendments to the business license ordinance for special events and entertainment). Council discussion included concern about altering an item that had been public-voted and requests to schedule a special session once reassessment solutions are clearer. The council did not record a final vote on Ordinance 2025-05 during this meeting.
No roll-call tallies were recorded for the approvals; the transcript records vocal 'Aye' responses but does not list individual votes.
