What the council acted on
The Nov. 4 council packet listed the dust and right-of-way measures as proposals before the votes. The packet lets readers inspect the business placed before council; the verified meeting outcomes establish that both measures were adopted.
The adopted dust measure is identified as ordinance 255112026 in the verified outcome. The right-of-way measure is identified as ordinance 256-11-2026. Those identifiers provide a way to locate the final ordinance texts and distinguish the adopted measures from the proposals in the packet.
Earlier proposal and next record
An Oct. 7 council packet proposed a general nuisance-abatement ordinance that included fugitive dust. That earlier packet establishes a prior proposal, not an earlier adoption or the operative language of the Nov. 4 ordinance.
The final published texts of ordinances 255112026 and 256-11-2026 will establish the precise geographic reach, effective dates, penalties and permit requirements for residents, contractors and property owners.
