Votes and actions: consent calendar approved; TAP tabled; other motions
Summary
At its Oct. 10, 2024 meeting the Harrison City Council approved the consent calendar, denied a variance, tabled a TAP item, and adopted two ordinances (Ordinance #490 and #491).
Key procedural actions at the Harrison City Council meeting on Oct. 10, 2024 included the following:
- Consent calendar: The council approved payment of bills for September 2024 and accepted the Sept. 12, 2024 meeting minutes. Josephine Prophet moved to approve the consent calendar; Joe Cornell seconded; the minutes record all present councilmembers voting AYE.
- Old business: The Hough variance was denied by motion (Josephine Prophet), seconded by Charlie Shutt; the vote was unanimous. Councilmember Charlie Shutt moved to table the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) item; Debbie Lockhart seconded and the council voted unanimously to table TAP.
- New business: The council adopted Ordinance #490 (amending the Light Manufacturing zoning district to permit communication transmitters and towers) after a presentation by Verizon representatives; the measure passed after Mayor Wanda Irish cast a tie-breaking AYE following a recusal by Councilmember Joe Cornell. The council also adopted Ordinance #491 to authorize businesses to opt out of the city’s solid-waste service; that vote was unanimous.
The minutes list several city department reports as N/A and record one public comment from Jennifer McMenomy, who said she feels communication with elected council members is obstructed and that emails she sends to the city clerk are reviewed by the mayor before reaching councilmembers. The meeting adjourned at 8:45 PM.
