(KLZA)-- On a night when a vote was scheduled on an ordinance important to the future electrical needs, four Falls City Council members were absent from the Monday night meeting.
With only four Council members present, the meeting could not be held.
The Council was scheduled to vote on the third and final reading on an ordinance to authorize and provide for the issuance of combined utility revenue bonds, in an amount not to exceed $20 million.
The bond funds would serve as the City match for a $15 million grant from the State of Nebraska that requires a one-to-one cash match.
If the ordinance fails to pass the City would lose the $15 million state grant.
The funds, if acquired would help the city bring a secondary electrical transmission line to the community, providing additional electrical power.
Absent from the meeting were Council members Frank Killingsworth, Kenny Killingsworth, Shawn Fouraker and Sara Ruiz.
Monday nights Council meeting will be rescheduled.
