The Altamont City Council adopted Charter Ordinance No. 12 at its April 10, 2025 meeting, approving an exemption from the residency requirement in K.S.A. 12-1222 that ordinarily requires municipal library board members to be residents of the city. Councilmember Lyle Sykes moved for approval and Councilmember Kyle Wiford seconded; Councilmembers Sellers, Sykes, Julich and Wiford recorded affirmative votes on the roll call.
Council members did not record a roll-call “no” vote in the minutes; the motion carried. The ordinance was presented to the council as a formal charter ordinance change and was considered under the council’s regular business agenda. The minutes do not specify next steps for implementation or a publication date for the ordinance.
