Fremont council suspends rules and unanimously adopts emergency snow-routes ordinance
Summary
On Jan. 13, 2026 the Fremont City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 5731, amending Chapter 5 of the municipal code on emergency snow routes after suspending the usual rule for a final reading. No public debate was recorded in the minutes.
The Fremont City Council on Jan. 13, 2026 voted unanimously to adopt Ordinance 5731, an amendment to Chapter 5 of the Fremont Municipal Code addressing emergency snow routes. The council met in the City Council Chambers at 400 East Military and the final vote was 7-0, with Councilmember Von Behren recorded absent.
City Clerk provided the ordinance readings, and the council moved first to hold the first reading of Ordinance 5731 and then, by a second motion, to suspend the rules and proceed to final reading the same night. The motions to suspend the rules and to adopt the ordinance passed on recorded votes of seven in favor, none opposed. Mayor Dev Sookram called for the final vote and the ordinance was approved.
The minutes record the ordinance’s adoption but do not include the ordinance text or substantive detail of the specific amendments to emergency snow routes within Chapter 5; those details are part of the official ordinance file available through the City Clerk’s office. The minutes also record that the mayor asked that any questions about comments made by the mayor be directed to the mayor after the meeting.
The council took no additional action or public comment on the ordinance during the Jan. 13 meeting. The meeting adjourned at 7:27 PM.
