Council adopts fiber‑fund transfer and several ordinance changes, approves restaurant license agreement
Summary
The City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 8‑2026 to transfer matured CD funds into the MDF (fiber) fund, approved a salary ordinance amendment for the utility director (09/2026), adopted a DORA ordinance amendment (10‑2026) to update business addresses, and approved a license agreement for Juliette's outdoor patio after removing redevelopment-commission language.
Council members discussed a matured certificate of deposit in the fiber fund and a required transfer into the MDF fund under city ordinance. The finance official explained the ordinance requirement and council voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 8‑2026 to move the funds into the MDF for future allocation; councilmembers noted some of the funds could be used to assist a US‑50 water-main replacement project.
"So, what I wanna do is I wanna basically transfer some money over into the MDF fund... per ordinance, I have to put it back into into the MDF," the finance representative explained during roll call discussion. The council then adopted the ordinance by unanimous vote. The council also adopted Salary Ordinance 09/2026 to adjust the utility director's compensation and passed the DORA ordinance amendment (10‑2026) to refresh listed addresses and include the pavilion area for potential events; the council approved each ordinance unanimously.
On a separate item, the council considered a license agreement enabling Juliette's to install an outdoor patio seating area. Staff described the license as a way for the city to retain ownership of property while permitting a temporary patio and noted a nominal fee and restoration language if terms change. Councilmembers asked whether a 22-foot requested width would conflict with an electrical box located at about 20 feet; staff said the restaurant could shift the layout and agreed to remove redevelopment-commission language from the agreement. The council approved the amended license agreement.
