Council approves second reading of graffiti ordinance
Summary
After discussion about redline documents and recent edits, the Highland Park City Council approved the second reading of a city graffiti ordinance.
The Highland Park City Council approved the second reading of a graffiti ordinance Monday after brief discussion about whether a redline showing changes had been circulated.
Councilwoman Martin moved to approve the ordinance for second reading; Councilwoman Manuka seconded the motion. During the discussion Manuka asked for a redline showing what had changed since the prior meeting. Staff said substantive changes had been made earlier to the separate rental ordinance but that the graffiti ordinance had no new changes between first and second reading.
On roll call, Councilwoman Martin and Councilwoman Manuka voted yes; Council Pro Tem Robinson voted no; Council President Thomas voted yes. The ordinance passed its second reading.
Council members and staff noted that practices for formally reading ordinances into the record vary across municipalities and that the ordinance as presented had been published for the public to review.
No fiscal or implementation details were adopted at the second-reading vote; any further procedural or enforcement items would be handled in subsequent council actions or by city staff under existing code.
