Milan council approves first reading of ordinance amendment; several routine items passed unanimously
Summary
At its Oct. 3 meeting, the Milan City Council approved the first reading of Ordinance 2023-07 amending Chapter 13½ and unanimously approved consent items and payment of $259,956.80 in bills; no contentious debate was recorded.
The Milan City Council on Oct. 3 approved the first reading of Ordinance 2023-07, an amendment to Chapter 13½ of the City of Milan Code of Ordinances. The motion to approve the ordinance on first reading was made by Councilmember Nie and seconded by Councilmember Thompson and carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The ordinance amends multiple subsections of Chapter 13½ (Article I and Article II, section 13½-18), and the council’s action advances the measure toward a subsequent reading and any required formal adoption steps.
Votes at a glance: The council also approved a consent agenda covering an event permit and meeting minutes, and authorized citywide Trick-or-Treat hours. Separately the council authorized payment of bills and payroll totaling $259,956.80. Each action passed by unanimous voice vote.
What the council did: Mayor Ed Kolar presided over the meeting. The ordinance first reading was moved by Councilmember Nie and seconded by Councilmember Thompson; for the bills payable item, Councilmember Kofflin moved approval and Councilmember Nie seconded. Minutes show motions carried unanimously; no roll-call vote with individual yea/nay names is recorded in the transcript.
What happens next: Because the council approved only the first reading of Ordinance 2023-07, the ordinance must return for any additional required readings or procedural steps before final adoption. Meeting minutes list no amendments to the ordinance text at this session.
The meeting concluded with routine staff and council reports and an adjournment at 7:34 p.m.
