At the March 24 meeting of the Panora City Council, the councilmembers discussed the proposed Resolution 25-11, approving a revised Electric Utility Inspection and Maintenance Plan.

“Nothing has really changed from last year; it just requires you to review it,” Electric Superintendent Doug Long said.

The council voted to approve the revised plan.

City Administrator Lisa Grossman reported that the city will receive a $5,000 grant from the Guthrie County Community Foundation to help with improvements at the community center.

The council discussed a request from Eric and Jenna Morris for the city to vacate some areas of alley adjacent to their property. Mayor Curt Thornberry explained the area in question is alleyway from when Panora was first laid out, and he said the request is reasonable. The council voted to have the Planning and Zoning Commission first consider the request.

A public hearing will be held on April 14 at 5:30 p.m. on the city’s proposed FY 2025-2026 budget.

The next regular meeting of the council will be Monday, April 14 at 5:30 p.m. The public is welcome. Interested persons may attend in person or electronically by visiting the website https://meet.goto.com/cityofpanora or by phone 1-312-757-3121 (Access Code 295-099-701, Audio PIN 220#).
