Council approves consent resolutions and advances traffic code rewrite to second reading
Summary
The council approved several consent resolutions and on first reading advanced an ordinance repealing and reenacting Title 9 (traffic regulations) to adopt the 2024 model traffic code; votes were 5‑0 on motions shown in the record.
At the Feb. 4 Littleton City Council meeting, members approved multiple consent agenda items and a first‑reading motion on a comprehensive traffic‑code update.
The council voted to approve three consent agenda items — listed on the meeting agenda as resolutions B, C and E — after Councilor Peters moved to approve the items and a second was recorded. The clerk announced the motion carried: “The vote is 5 in favor; the motion carries.” The minutes reflected those resolutions as adopted on the consent agenda; the meeting record did not show individual roll‑call votes tied to each member.
Separately, Council moved and voted on Ordinance 1‑20‑25, a first‑reading ordinance “repealing and reenacting Title 9 of the city code (traffic regulations), including the adoption of the 2024 model traffic code,” and setting the second reading and public hearing for March 4, 2025. After discussion and questions from council members about speed limits, signage and how residential prima facie speeds would be handled, the council approved the motion on first reading, with the clerk announcing a 5‑0 vote in favor.
Council members asked staff to return with more detailed information on how speed limits are posted and on a potential community engagement plan if the council later considers lowering prima facie residential speeds. The vote at the first reading did not itself change speed limits; it advanced the ordinance to a second reading and public hearing on March 4.
