Council discussion stalls on ordinance changes for boards and utility board residency
Summary
A first reading to amend boards and commissions operating procedures and a separate first reading amending utility‑board term/residency requirements received discussion but no final votes; a motion to table the boards/commissions ordinance died for lack of a second.
Council considered an ordinance (first reading) that would amend boards and commissions operating procedures and debated whether to send the item back to the public‑works committee for further discussion with the municipal utility (MMEU). A motion to table and move the matter to public works was made but died for lack of a second; councilors then debated whether it was appropriate for an MMEU board member who lives outside the service area to continue serving.
A separate first reading that would amend terms of office and residency requirements for the utility board received no motion and therefore died for lack of action. Councilors said they wanted to discuss the reasons MMEU requested the change and noted the airport commission recently changed its ordinance to permit a county resident to serve.
