Council unanimously approves cone‑of‑silence update and alley vacation
Summary
During the April 2 meeting the council voted unanimously (one member absent) to approve an ordinance clarifying cone‑of‑silence provisions and to vacate a 20‑foot dead‑end alley in the Alma Heights subdivision; both items had no public speakers and were approved on the consent/public hearing agenda.
At the April 2 St. Petersburg City Council meeting, members voted to approve two items on the agenda.
An ordinance amending section 2‑209(a) of the city code to clarify provisions related to the cone‑of‑silence (proposed ordinance number read as "6 32 h" in the meeting) was read by staff and moved for approval; the clerk announced the motion passed unanimously with Council member Givens absent.
The council also approved an ordinance (recorded as ordinance number 1178b) vacating a 20‑foot dead‑end alley abutting Lots 34 and 5 in the Alma Heights revised subdivision (generally located at 1013 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street South). The applicant and neighborhood representatives spoke in support; council moved and seconded the measure and the clerk announced it passed unanimously.
Both items had no registered public speakers at the time of the hearing and carried the conditions and findings listed in staff recommendations. The council then moved on to other business and adjourned for the day.
