The public hearing closed at 6:34 p.m., and City Counselor Nathan Nickolaus read the ordinance for its first reading by title.

Bell later explained a separate land-use matter: the final plat for Blue's Lake Plat No. 13 at 1630 Bridge School Road. She said the developer ran into rock when installing utilities and the proposed ordinance would vacate the original easements and dedicate replacement easements to allow utility installation.
