Summary
Council approved the sidewalk snow-removal contract (CA3), the amended strategic allocations (CA8), the childcare zoning ordinance (B1), traffic and housing code changes (C1, C2), a one-year extension for Recycle Ann Arbor (DC1), and two ICPOC appointments (DC2).
Key outcomes from the Dec. 16 Ann Arbor City Council meeting:
- CA3: Approve general services contract with Target Facility Management LLC for sidewalk and pedestrian-island snow removal, not to exceed $150,000. Approved as part of consent agenda after discussion.
- CA8: Approve one-time strategic allocations (amended) totaling $2,850,000 (includes $1,000,000 contingency and an additional $100,000 for Elks Lodge repair). Main motion as amended carried on roll-call vote.
- B1: Ordinance to amend sections 5.15 and 5.16 of Chapter 55 (Unified Development Code) to permit child-care centers and private school uses and add use-specific standards for child-care centers; ordinance approved. Planners will continue guidance and implementation support.
- C1: Traffic-code amendment (Section 10413 of Chapter 126); approved.
- C2: Housing-code amendment (Section 8532 to Chapter 105) to ban pre-tenancy fees and limit refundable application fees; approved. A friendly amendment assigns enforcement to city administrator or designee.
- DC1: Approve Amendment #1 to the general services agreement with Recycle Ann Arbor for drop-off station operations, estimated amendment cost $133,108.84 and renewal up to $137,610.96 (total $271,213.80); council member recusal noted and motion approved.
- DC2: Appointments of Aaron Cooper and Patricia Manley to the Independent Community Police Oversight Commission; approved.
Several amendments proposed during CA8 (removing the $1,000,000 contingency, removing parking-equity line, adding traffic-calming funds) failed in roll-call votes; other routine minutes, clerk communications and referrals were approved, and the council adjourned.
