All four St. Mary city aldermen voted for adoption of an ordinance that allows the city to cut off residents’ utilities for unpaid city taxes at last Thursday night’s meeting.
Some residents who attended complained that they were not given a chance to comment on the ordinance before the board unanimously voted in favor of it.
The meeting agenda typically has a “public forum” early-on, which Mayor Carlton Wyatt explained is occasionally used for experts to explain projects to the board.
At the bottom of the agenda is “citizens participation.”
