Maumee to hold special meeting Wednesday to repeal sewer ordinance
The city of Maumee has updated the agenda for a hastily called special city council meeting, but the body will still consider repealing a highly unpopular sewer inspection ordinance. In addition to including an executive session to address “pending or threatened litigation,” the agenda for Wednesday’s 6 p.m. meeting includes two proposed ordinances. Mayor Jim MacDonald is recommending council approve ordinance 030-2024, which would repeal the sewer inspection and remediation ordinance, number 20-2024.
