Council suspends three‑reading rule and adopts request to send levy certification to auditor
Summary
Councilors unanimously voted to suspend the three‑reading rule and adopt a motion requesting the Madison County Auditor certify figures for Resolution 162‑26; a second meeting will finalize ballot placement if certification is received.
The council moved to suspend the three‑reading rule and to request that the Madison County Auditor provide certified valuation and revenue figures so the proposed renewal can be placed on the November ballot. The clerk called each member during the roll‑call vote; multiple council members answered "yes" and the acting president declared the motion adopted.
Councilors said the action does not itself place a levy on the tax rolls but authorizes staff to obtain auditor certification and schedule a second meeting to finalize placement on the ballot. The council noted the board of elections’ August 5 deadline for certification and asked administration to return with the auditor’s report before the follow‑up meeting.
"This motion has been adopted," Acting President Greg Giese said after the vote, and the council adjourned with members encouraging the public to return for the Thursday follow‑up meeting.
