Council gives first reading to ordinance adding EMS assist units to municipal code
Summary
The council gave first reading to an amendment to Jacksonville Municipal Code Chapter 28 to add definitions and authorize EMS assist units; the measure passed the first reading on a roll call vote.
The Jacksonville City Council gave the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 28 of the Jacksonville Municipal Code (Vehicles for Hire) to add definitions and provisions authorizing EMS assist units.
The item was presented under the Public Protection committee. After a motion and apparent second, the city clerk conducted a roll call; the transcript records affirmative votes from several aldermen and the motion carried on first reading.
Nut Graf: The amendment adds new definitions and a section authorizing EMS assist units in the municipal code. The council advanced the change on first reading, which moves the ordinance forward in the council process but does not finalize adoption.
Council discussion on the record was limited; the transcript shows no amendment to the proposed language during the meeting. The motion passed on a roll call with the votes recorded in the transcript as affirmative from Aldermen Hannett, Henry, Lockman, Oltenetal, Speed and Watts.
Ending: Because this was the first reading, additional readings or procedural steps will be required before the ordinance becomes law; the transcript does not show a schedule for further readings.
