Milnor — The Milnor City Council unanimously adopted a floodplain ordinance at its March 9 meeting after the city attorney told council members the city could not simply place itself under the county’s umbrella and recommended adoption.
LeeAnn Even reviewed the Attorney’s Report and explained the council’s options for regulating the floodplain. Even told the council that remaining under county floodplain authority was not an option and recommended the city adopt its own ordinance. The council completed a first reading and then adopted the ordinance by unanimous vote (motion: Jodi Ost; second: Glen Koeppe).
Council members did not record additional amendments during the discussion; the adoption followed the attorney’s recommendation and a standard procedural first reading. The ordinance will govern floodplain management within city limits and was presented as part of the Attorney’s Report.
The council’s action was taken at the March 9 meeting; the ordinance adoption was unanimous. The council did not specify implementation deadlines or required follow-up in the meeting record.
