Council adopts ordinance to contract with NCTC for CityLink video services
Summary
Ordinance No. 26‑001 authorizing a contract with the National Cable Television Cooperative for CityLink video services was read, the council suspended the three‑reading rule, and the ordinance was declared adopted by unanimous roll call.
Council read Ordinance No. 26‑001, which authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract with the National Cable Television Cooperative, Inc. (NCTC) to provide video services supporting CityLink. Sponsor Council Member Tom Stugmyer moved to suspend the three‑reading rule; council voted unanimously to suspend and to adopt the ordinance the same evening.
The roll call on adoption recorded Ayes from Council Members Reese, Stugmyer, Maxwell, May, Hines, Berger and Yurchiak; there were no Nays. Service Director Matt Hiscock later addressed the statutory use of emergency language, explaining the mechanism: “The emergency clause, when attached to legislation, allows them to act dynamically,” enabling immediate effect when the council chooses to enact a measure promptly.
