Council amends raffles and events ordinances; ordinance 94-16 approved by roll call
Summary
The council approved amendments to city code governing amusement and recreation raffles (ordinance 94-16-2025) and separately voted to amend an events ordinance; both measures passed by roll call.
The council approved ordinance 94-16-2025, which amends Title 11 (Business Regulations), Chapter 111 (Amusement and Recreation — Raffles), Section 11.063 (Issuance of permit conditions) of the Revised Code of Ordinances of Belleville. The ordinance title was read into the record and the council voted to approve the amendment by roll call.
Separately, the council recorded a motion "to amend an ordinance regarding events" presented during the committee motions; that motion was also approved by roll call. The transcript shows the ordinance title read and a roll-call sequence in which members recorded “Aye” and the mayor announced the motions carried.
Why it matters: Changes to permit conditions for raffles and to event-related ordinances affect how nonprofit fundraising and public events are permitted and regulated in the city. The transcript records approval but does not include the ordinance text, so the precise regulatory changes are not in the provided record.
What the transcript shows: The mayor read ordinance 94-16-2025 by title. Alderman Ferguson and others were recorded during the roll call as voting in favor; the mayor announced the motion carries. The transcript does not contain the ordinance’s amended language or any staff presentation explaining substantive changes.
