Williston commissioners adopt ordinance to clarify disabled veteran parking plate designation
Summary
The Williston Board of City Commissioners voted 4-0 Aug. 26 to adopt Ordinance 1170, aligning Municipal disabled-veteran parking signage with wording in the North Dakota Century Code so 'DV' on a plate notifies a handicap designation.
The Williston Board of City Commissioners voted 4-0 on Aug. 26 to adopt Ordinance 1170, which amends the city’s disabled veteran parking rules to align license-plate wording with state law.
City Attorney Taylor Olson described the change as a wording alignment with the North Dakota Century Code and recommended adoption, saying, “I recommend that you pass the ordinance.” Commissioner James Bervig moved to approve the second reading; Commissioner Victoria Siemieniewski seconded. Commissioners Lucas Gjovig and Howard Klug joined the affirmative vote; none opposed.
The ordinance clarifies that a “DV” designation on the license plate notifies that an individual has a handicapped license matching state statutory language. The board’s action on the second reading constitutes formal adoption under the city’s ordinance process as recorded in the minutes.
Township or staff implementation steps were not specified in the minutes. The minutes do not record public comment on the measure.
