Florence board directs attorney to update moratoriums and sick-leave, water policies
Summary
The board authorized the city attorney to update the moratorium on used car lots, draft a moratorium on the number of service/gas stations, update the sick-leave policy to mirror the state policy, and work with the mayor on water/wastewater policies and fees.
The Florence Board of Aldermen on Nov. 4 instructed City Attorney Bobby Lingold to proceed with several policy and ordinance-drafting tasks: update an existing moratorium on used car lots; draft a moratorium limiting the number of service/gas stations; update the city's sick-leave policy to mirror state sick-leave policy; and work with Mayor Trey Gunn on updating water and wastewater policies and fees.
Motions were made and seconded by board members and recorded as carried unanimously. The minutes attribute the moratorium-update direction to a motion authorizing the attorney to "update the board order concerning moratorium on used car lots in Florence, MS" and record a separate motion directing Lingold to "draft a moratorium concerning the number of service/gas stations allowed in the city of Florence, MS." The sick-leave update was recorded as authority to update the city's policy "to mirror the state policy on sick leave." No draft language, timelines, or fiscal impacts are included in the minutes; the attorney and mayor have been directed to draft and return recommended language for board consideration.
These actions are preparatory steps; any final moratoriums or policy changes will require future board votes to adopt ordinance language or formal policy updates.
