Stanford council enacts 2025–26 city budget, adopts zoning changes on livestock and RVs
Summary
The Stanford City Council voted unanimously May 8 to enact the city budget for fiscal year 2025–26 and to adopt two zoning amendments: one addressing livestock and poultry rules and another regulating transient recreational vehicles. Council also accepted a first reading to annex property at 835 US 27.
The Stanford City Council voted unanimously May 8 to enact Ordinance No. 2025-0410, the city budget for fiscal year 2025–26, and to adopt two zoning amendments that revise rules for livestock and poultry and for transient recreational vehicles.
Mayor Dalton Miller conducted a second reading of the budget ordinance before the governing body moved to enact it. Councilman Eddie Carter made the motion to enact the ordinance, seconded by Councilman Joe Tackett; a roll-call vote of the five members present was recorded in favor and the ordinance was adopted.
The council also completed second readings and adopted Ordinance 920.44, which amends several sections of the zoning code concerning livestock and poultry, and Ordinance 920.45, which amends zoning rules for transient recreational vehicles. City Attorney John Hackley provided summary readings of both ordinances prior to votes. Each adoption passed on motions approved unanimously by the members present.
Council took one procedural, nonfinal step on annexation: it entertained a first reading of Ordinance 110.14, an annexation-by-consent proposal for the property at 835 US 27; the reading was accepted but the council did not enact the annexation at this meeting.
