Council defeats proposed Residential Fence amendments but approves targeted amendment to code sections
Summary
Councilmembers rejected final adoption of Ordinance 1023 after multiple roll calls but later approved an amendment to code sections 18.12.060 B and C. The motion to adopt the ordinance failed 0–7; a subsequent amendment passed 5–2.
Ordinance 1023, which would have amended the city's residential fence regulations, was the subject of extended council discussion Aug. 5. Councilmember Paula Randall moved to have the ordinance read by title only; that motion failed (2 ayes, 4 nays, 1 abstention). Deputy Clerk Deavon Jacobson then read the ordinance verbatim and a motion to approve the ordinance failed on a roll-call vote, recorded as 0 ayes, 7 nays.
Later in the Old Business segment, Councilmember Blake Wiers moved to amend sections 18.12.060 B and 18.12.060 C "as read," a motion seconded by Councilmember Jon Hardy‑McCauliff and recorded as carried (5 ayes, 2 nays). No further adoption of Ordinance 1023 occurred during the meeting. The council's votes leave the proposed ordinance rejected while a narrower code amendment was approved.
