The Tecumseh City Council on Oct. 6 adopted an ordinance to implement the city's Wellhead Protection Plan prepared by Olsson and approved Resolution 2025-16 to adopt a Hazard Mitigation Action Plan intended to make Tecumseh eligible for pre- and post-disaster federal mitigation funding.
Council Member Tyler Speckmann moved to introduce the wellhead protection ordinance and to waive the statutory three-reading rule; Alicia Brommer seconded the motion.
