BACKUS — At their Monday, Oct. 3, regular meeting, the Backus City Council agreed to have Sourcewell update the city's zoning ordinances, according to phone conversations with City Clerk Ann Swanson.
Sourcewell has been doing zoning work for the city since early 2022 following contentious issues with property owners concerning expansion and use of a trailer home in city limits.
Council members decided to hire the company when they decided the city's ordinances did not do enough to provide guidance for such times. The cost is not to exceed $3,000.
The council also rescheduled the Nov. 7 regular council meeting to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 16, to allow the council to canvas election results from Nov. 8.
