At a glance: ordinances, resolutions and routine council votes in Crooks
Summary
The council approved two ordinances (3‑77 and 3‑78), passed resolutions authorizing small transfers and a natural‑gas hookup policy, tabled Ordinance 3‑72 for amendment, and handled appointments and administrative signatures.
The Crooks City Council handled a series of legislative and administrative votes during the meeting. Highlights:
- Ordinance 3‑77 (amending public‑nuisance provisions to add a sidewalk/ice/snow removal rule) passed on second reading by roll‑call vote. - Ordinance 3‑78 (amending Title 2 regarding elected officials and staggering of terms) passed on second reading by roll‑call vote. - Ordinance 3‑72 (amendments to landscaping and architectural standards) was flagged for contradictions with existing city code and tabled so staff can prepare written amendments; council members chose not to approve it in its present form. - Resolution 2026‑22 was approved to transfer $1,202 from contingency to meet a small obligation; the council also held a first reading of Ordinance 3‑79 (supplemental appropriations of $19,950) to repay a short‑term note. - Resolution 2026‑23 established a policy and adjusted fees for extensions of natural‑gas mains and service lines; staff said the city will revise hookup‑fee language and service agreements to better recoup contractor labor costs.
Several procedural motions — approval of the agenda, minutes (03/23/2026) and the consent calendar — passed earlier in the meeting by roll‑call votes. The council also authorized signature authority for a corrective warranty deed related to baseball‑field property and approved a transfer of $9,000 from liquor/lodging/dining funds into the general fund to help cover a scheduled obligation.
Votes were recorded on the record by roll call during the meeting; where a roll‑call name is given in the transcript it is noted as "aye." The meeting did not include any large contested roll‑call defeats; the most substantive policy change that was postponed was Ordinance 3‑72 so staff can prepare consolidated amendments.
