Milnor attorney recommends repealing 1986 floodplain ordinance and adopting county umbrella
Summary
City attorney LeeAnn Even told the Milnor City Council she recommends repealing the citys 1986 floodplain ordinance and adopting a resolution to place the city under county floodplain regulations, but she said she will do further research before bringing a final proposal.
City attorney LeeAnn Even told the Milnor City Council on Feb. 9 that she has been consulting with county contacts and believes the city should repeal its 1986 floodplain ordinance and instead adopt a resolution placing Milnor under the countys floodplain oversight. "I had talked with Wendy Schmeiss, and Wendy had recommended to the commission the county adopt what Tyler Spomer had recommended," Even said, and she added she wanted to do more research before returning with a formal proposal.
The recommendation, as described in the meeting, would remove the citys older local ordinance and align Milnor with county-level floodplain regulations. Even framed the change as primarily administrative: repealing the 1986 ordinance and adopting a resolution would make the city subject to the countys existing floodplain rules rather than maintaining a separate local regime.
Mayor Terry Dusek and council members did not take a final vote on the ordinance at the meeting; Even emphasized she would bring more information to a future meeting. Council discussion did not record a vote or a specific draft resolution in the transcript. The next scheduled Milnor City Council meeting is Monday, March 9, 2026, when staff indicated they expect to return with additional research if available.
