In a special meeting held on September 12, 2024, the Board of Aldermen for the City of Fenton addressed critical infrastructure needs by advancing an emergency repair ordinance for the Riverchase YMCA. The meeting focused primarily on Bill 24-78, which authorizes the mayor to enter into an agreement with Bacon TML LLC for urgent repairs to the Dectron unit at the facility.

The board swiftly moved through the legislative process, with Alderman Hill initiating a motion to waive the rules for a second reading of the bill. This motion was seconded by Alderman Jokers and received unanimous support from the board members present. Following the successful first reading, the second reading of Bill 24-78 was conducted, and it was subsequently approved to become Ordinance 44-74.

The urgency of the repairs highlights the city's commitment to maintaining essential community services, particularly those offered at the Riverchase YMCA, which serves as a vital recreational and wellness hub for residents. The board's quick action reflects an understanding of the importance of timely maintenance in public facilities.

As the meeting concluded, the board members expressed their readiness to address further community needs, with a motion to adjourn being passed without opposition. This meeting underscores the ongoing efforts of the City of Fenton to ensure that local infrastructure remains functional and accessible for all residents.
