Council adopts snow-and-ice rule and museum lease; council approves renaming resolution
Summary
At its July 14 meeting the Annapolis City Council adopted snow-and-ice sidewalk rules, renewed the Chesapeake Children’s Museum lease, and approved a resolution to rename the Hillman parking garage; several financial measures were referred to committee.
The Annapolis City Council took several formal legislative actions on July 14, 2025.
Adopted: O6-25 (clearing snow and ice from city sidewalks) The council moved O6-25 forward on second and third readings and adopted the ordinance. The measure clarifies property-owner responsibilities for removing snow and ice from sidewalks adjacent to private properties; council members discussed coordination with county and state where sidewalks abut non-city roadways and asked staff to draft implementing rules.
Adopted: O8-25 (Chesapeake Children’s Museum lease renewal through June 30, 2030) Council adopted an ordinance renewing the museum’s lease through June 30, 2030. The motion passed on second reading and was advanced for third-reading consideration during the meeting; a formal roll-call vote on the second-reading motion recorded ayes from the majority of council members present.
Adopted: R27-25 (renaming of the Noah Hillman parking garage) Council adopted resolution R27-25 on second reading to rename the Noah Hillman Parking Garage; the measure followed public comment in support of recognizing Walter S. Mills’ contributions. Council took a roll call on the resolution; the clerk recorded votes in the meeting record and the resolution was adopted.
Referred: O30-01/25 (issuance of general obligation bonds and bond anticipation notes) Council referred the bond issuance ordinance to the finance committee and the financial advisory commission for further review.
Next steps: Several of the items adopted will require staff follow-up to implement code changes or complete agreements. The council moved other items forward to committee for additional review; the public hearing record remains open for measures that were not voted on.
