Ordinance #20-01 is an ordinance updating the business license ordinance.  It was noted that sometimes businesses want or need to change their business name.  If a business does change its name, the business will need to get a new business license.  It can be done in the City Office.  The motion was made and passed.

The agenda noted that new people would be named for the Planning Commission Board.  There has been such a short time since the Planning Commission met, it will take more time to get to choose enough people to serve in this position.  Two individuals have been selected for this Board.  Kendra Bjoralt and Burt Carlisle. There is a need also for some people to serve on the Board of Adjustment, and the Appeals Board.  These vacancies will be filled at the next City Council Meeting.

A new Administrative Judge has been appointed.  Lance Bourne will be the new Administrative Judge.
