Council advances fence-height and sewer code changes in first readings and waives further readings
Summary
Council held first readings and waived further readings for three ordinances: Ordinance 7 (fence-height rules near intersections), Ordinance 8 (sanitary sewer connection and dwelling-unit definitions) and Ordinance 9 (adding a multifamily classification for sewer charges). All were advanced by unanimous votes to expedite enactment.
Council held the first readings of three code changes and moved to waive second and third readings for each, advancing them in the same meeting. Ordinance 7 amends fence-height regulations near intersections and clarifies corner-plot diagrams; council voted to waive further readings and advanced the measure. The mayor described this as a continuation of prior discussions about fences in the city.
Ordinance 8 amends the sanitary sewer system code by defining "connection" and "dwelling unit" and specifying that each multifamily dwelling unit be identified as a customer. Ordinance 9 adds a multifamily residential classification to the sewer service charges code; council noted the change primarily clarifies classification and does not alter rates in the current reading. For each ordinance councilors moved, seconded and recorded unanimous aye votes to waive readings and advance the ordinances.
