Council corrects scrivener’s error in Ordinance 2025-284 and approves amended version
Summary
The Springfield City Council amended a numeric error in Ordinance 2025-284, changing a figure in section 6 from $49,000 to $49,999, and approved the ordinance as amended.
The Springfield City Council discovered and corrected a Scrivener’s error in Ordinance 2025-284, amending section 6 to change the figure from $49,000 to $49,999 and then approving the ordinance as amended.
Alderman Cox identified the discrepancy in the ordinance language and asked for clarification; the council moved to amend section 6 “as described by Alderman Cox” and voted to approve the amendment. The amended ordinance then moved forward on final passage and was approved.
Council discussion on the change was procedural and limited to confirming the correct numeric amount; no policy change or additional fiscal detail was discussed on the floor. The amendment and subsequent final passage were agreed to during the meeting record before the council took up other business.
