All four St. Mary city aldermen voted for adoption of an ordinance that allows the city to cut off residents’ utilities for unpaid city taxes at last Thursday night’s meeting.
Some residents who attended complained that they were not given a chance to comment on the ordinance before the board unanimously voted in favor of it.
The meeting agenda typically has a “public forum” early-on, which Mayor Carlton Wyatt explained is occasionally used for experts to explain projects to the board.
At the bottom of the agenda is “citizens participation.”

Any St. Mary residents who have not been paying city taxes may want to stock up on bottled water and flashlight batteries.
The St. Mary Board of Aldermen passed a bill on first reading during its Feb. 11 meeting that calls for the city to terminate utility services for any residents in arrears on their city tax bills.
The ordinance will get a second reading at the March 11 meeting, after which the aldermen will vote on it.
“The bill’s going to lay over for 30 days,” Mayor Carlton Wyatt said. “It’s going to be a controversial bill, probably. People have the right to read it and decipher it and we have a right to explain it.”
