• Ordinance 15-38, authorizing and directing the mayor to execute an agreement with Allard Excavation, LLC for construction of the riverfront project and declare it an emergency, although the project has since been rebid.

The previous Ironton City Council meeting that was supposed to happen Thursday, Nov. 12 was cancelled when councilman Dave Frazer voted against waiving a rule that requires the council agenda to be available to council members 24 hours in advance. The agendas were not available 24 hours early due to the mayor’s office being closed on Veteran’s Day.

Frazer and councilwoman Beth Rist were not at the meeting on Monday.
