During the regular meeting of the Panora City Council on Sept. 22, the councilmembers voted unanimously to approve Resolution 25-32, setting Oct. 31 as the standard date for the city’s trick-or-treat events, regardless of the day of the week.
The council reappointed members of the library board to another six-year term. Chris Hastings, Kari Sebern and Tina Thornberry each have a new term through Dec. 31, 2031.
City Administrator Lisa Grossman described the work she has been doing to update the city’s code of ordinances. She said the majority of the changes are minor wording or numbering changes to make sure references match.
“Just making it read a little bit better,” Grossman said.
Councilmember Mark Sheeder mentioned a tree that may need attention near Jackson Street.
“There’s a large diameter stump about 15 feet high,” Sheeder said. “It’s now starting to lean into the right of way.”
Grossman said the city crew is aware of the situation.
The next regular meeting is set for Monday, Oct. 13 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#).
