The City Council of the City of Chariton unanimously adopted an ordinance amending Chapters 18.16 and 18.36 of the Chariton Municipal Code on Jan. 19, 2026.
After a second reading and placement on file, Mayor Jayma Hoch moved — and Council Member Gary Shutt seconded — that the rule requiring an ordinance to be on file at two Council meetings prior to final action be suspended and that the ordinance be adopted. The motion passed on a roll call vote (Aye: Fenton, Hoch, McGee, Shutt, Storm; Nay: None). The ordinance was numbered 949 and signed by the Mayor.
The ordinance was described in the meeting minutes as a zoning change; no additional details of the specific zoning map amendments or affected parcels were provided in the minutes. The transcript does not record a public hearing or public comment on the ordinance during this meeting. The Council’s action completed the local legislative step recorded in these minutes.
The Council’s next scheduled meeting is Feb. 2, 2026; the minutes do not list an effective date for Ordinance No. 949 beyond its adoption.
