Allendale trustees introduce vehicles-and-traffic ordinance amendment and discuss $95 civil fine
Summary
Supervisor Adam Elenbaas introduced Ordinance 2026-08 for first reading and presented Resolution 2026-10, tied to the ordinance, which would establish a $95 civil fine for violations of the new Article IV; the board heard questions and public comment but took no final vote on the ordinance or resolution.
Supervisor Adam Elenbaas presented Ordinance 2026-08 at the June 8 meeting of the Allendale Charter Township Board of Trustees for its first reading. The ordinance would amend chapter 440 (Vehicles and Traffic) of the township Code of Ordinances and add a new Article IV.
Elenbaas also introduced Resolution 2026-10 as a tie-bar to Ordinance 2026-08; the resolution, as described in the minutes, would establish a civil fine of $95 for violations of Section 440, Article IV. Several trustees asked questions during discussion and the board heard public comments from Marcia Hoekstra and Gail Roelofs before closing public comment.
Why it matters: the ordinance amendment and proposed fine would change local traffic regulations and add an enforcement mechanism. The minutes record questions and trustee discussion but do not show a final vote or adoption of Ordinance 2026-08 or Resolution 2026-10 at this meeting.
Next steps: the ordinance was presented for first reading; the resolution was discussed but remained a discussion item after the board amended the agenda. The minutes do not record a motion to adopt Ordinance 2026-08 or to adopt Resolution 2026-10 during this session.
