Council directs solicitor to draft refuse‑ordinance amendment, removes a farmers market insurance rule and denies appointment
Summary
Council asked the solicitor to draft a refuse ordinance amendment allowing dumpsters for multi‑family buildings with more than four units, removed general liability requirements from the farmers market application, and declined to appoint Dustin Werner to the Economic Development Committee after a tie broken by Mayor Gene Lau with a No vote.
The council authorized Solicitor Mike Craley to draft an amendment to the refuse ordinance to permit dumpsters for multi‑family dwellings with more than four units where space allows. The change came after committee discussion on refuse handling for multi‑unit properties.
Council also voted to remove certain general liability insurance requirements from the farmers market application at the request of Council member Evan Hiester. Separately, the council considered Dustin Werner for the Economic Development Committee (three‑year term ending 12/31/27); the appointment resulted in a tie, and Mayor Gene Lau broke the tie by voting No, denying the appointment. The solicitor will also review an escrow issue tied to a fire‑damaged property at 200 S Main St and advise council on possible use of escrow funds to complete repairs.
