The context
- Council held a November 2020 election for residents to vote on whether the terms of office for council members should be changed from two to three years, according to meeting documents.
- Voters approved changing the terms; however, the city code was never amended to reflect the election results.
- Council will now have to adopt an ordinance to amend the city code to reflect the election results—changing the terms of council members to three years.
- While the city began to operate with the correct three-year terms, a final ordinance was never passed, according to meeting documents. The ordinance is a housekeeping item to correct this inaccuracy.
