Takoma Park council approves ordinance tightening rules on use of city seal and logo
Summary
Council approved a second‑reading ordinance amending the Takoma Park code governing use of the city seal/logo; an effective date clause (20 days after adoption) was added and the roll call vote was unanimous.
The Takoma Park City Council approved a second‑reading ordinance that amends the city code governing the use of the city seal and logo.
Staff reported only one substantive addition: an effective‑date clause specifying the ordinance becomes effective 20 days after adoption. Council member Weselek moved the ordinance, Council member Hansack seconded, and the clerk called the roll; each council member recorded an affirmative vote. The mayor then moved to the work‑session portion of the meeting.
Why it matters: The change clarifies when the updated rules take effect and completes the ordinance process so the city can standardize and enforce how the municipal seal and logo are used in official and commercial contexts.
Next steps: No additional action was taken during the meeting; staff will implement the amended code after the effective date.
