Commission introduces ordinance O-2-2025 to update an older code section adopted in 1978
Summary
The commission introduced Ordinance O-2-2025 to amend Section 2-94.018 of the Battle Creek Code of Ordinances; the ordinance was read and the introduction was approved for further consideration.
The Battle Creek City Commission on May 6 moved to introduce Ordinance O-2-2025, which the clerk said would amend a long-standing provision of the Battle Creek Code of Ordinances.
The clerk read a summary stating Section 2‑94.018 of the city code was originally adopted Nov. 28, 1978 and has not been updated since. The city stated the provision is out of date because of changes in technology, processes and city administration. The proposed ordinance O-2-2025 would amend Section 2‑94.018; the clerk read that summary into the record. A commissioner moved and supported introduction; the commission voted and the ordinance introduction passed.
Why it matters: the city characterized the amendment as a modernization to align the city code with current practices and best practices. The May 6 record does not include the ordinance text; introduction was approved and the item will return for subsequent readings and final action in accordance with the city’s ordinance-adoption process.
Next steps: the ordinance introduction passed and the city clerk will place the ordinance on the agenda for future consideration as required by municipal procedure.
