Council amends remote attendance rules to reflect state technical change
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 2026-001 to amend the City Code and meeting procedures to reflect a state-level technical change adding active military duty as a remote-attendance allowance, citing a staff explanation that the change was technical.
The Council adopted Ordinance 2026-001 on Jan. 27, 2026, updating the City Code and public body rules of procedures concerning remote meeting attendance to reflect a state-level technical change that includes active military duty. Council Member Melanie Cozzi moved to approve the ordinance; it passed on a unanimous roll-call vote.
City Manager Darin DeHaan described the change as technical, saying "a technical change was made at the state level to include active military duty." The amendment aligns the city's rules with that state-level change and does not expand other remote attendance rights beyond the technical addition.
The Council did not attach additional revisions at the time of adoption; minutes show the ordinance was passed without nay votes.
