Council tables first reading of utility board terms of office ordinance
Summary
A first reading ordinance amending terms of office for the utility board of trustees was tabled after staff said the content mirrored the prior item and councilors preferred more time; motion to table passed by roll call.
The Maquoketa City Council tabled a first reading ordinance that would change terms of office for the utility board of trustees after little new information was presented and council members favored delaying action.
Staff told the council the ordinance language was largely the same as the prior item and offered the option to table the matter or invite the board for further explanation. Council member Lyon (speaker 4) moved to table and another councilor seconded; the roll call recorded affirmative votes and the motion passed.
Council members said the proposed approach to filling roles had been rushed in the past and that an application process would allow better evaluation of candidates if terms or membership rules change in future sessions.
