Council forwards ordinance to review school walk zones to Sept. 22
Summary
The Pacific City Council forwarded Ordinance 2025-2112, which would amend Pacific Municipal Code Chapter 10.07 on school walk zones, to the Sept. 22 meeting for a first reading; the workshop transcript did not specify the ordinance’s substantive changes.
The City of Pacific council on Sept. 8 unanimously forwarded Ordinance 2025-2112, which would amend Pacific Municipal Code Chapter 10.07 on school walk zones, to the council meeting of Sept. 22 for a first reading.
Council President Kerry Garberding called the workshop to order and, by council consensus, the item was moved for further consideration. The workshop minutes do not record a formal motion, mover or a roll-call vote; they state only that the item was forwarded by council consensus.
The transcript does not include the ordinance’s specific textual changes, the expected effects on crosswalk locations or signage, nor any cost estimates or implementation timeline. The council will consider the ordinance officially at the Sept. 22 meeting, when staff is expected to present the ordinance language and any related traffic or safety analyses.
If adopted after the first reading and any subsequent hearings or revisions, the ordinance would amend Chapter 10.07 of the Pacific Municipal Code, the city’s statutory chapter that governs school walk zones and related pedestrian-safety measures. The transcript does not specify whether the amendment would expand, narrow or otherwise change existing school walk-zone definitions or the criteria used to set them.
Next steps: the item is scheduled for a first reading on Sept. 22, 2025; the council will receive the ordinance text and staff analysis at that meeting.
