Webster City adopts ordinances adjusting special 35 mph and 45 mph speed zones
Summary
The council unanimously passed two ordinances amending Chapter 46 to update special 35 mph (Ordinance No. 2026‑1892) and 45 mph (Ordinance No. 2026‑1893) speed zones. Both second readings were approved and third readings waived at the Jan. 5 meeting.
The Webster City Council on Jan. 5 approved amendments to the city code that change designated special speed zones. Council member Abbie Hansen moved and John Marvel seconded approval of the second reading for an ordinance amending Chapter 46, Section 46‑112, to establish special 35 mph speed zones; the council waived a third reading and passed Ordinance No. 2026‑1892 on a unanimous roll call.
Separately, the council approved the second reading and waived the third reading for an ordinance amending Chapter 46, Section 46‑113, pertaining to special 45 mph speed zones. Council member Ashley Allers moved and Abbie Hansen seconded; Ordinance No. 2026‑1893 was passed and adopted unanimously.
Why it matters: Changes to special speed‑zone designations alter enforceable speed limits on specified road segments within the city and may affect traffic flow and enforcement priorities. The ordinances were adopted by unanimous votes, and no public comment or debate is recorded in the meeting minutes.
Next steps: The ordinances were passed and adopted at the Jan. 5 meeting; the council did not record any postponement or amendments and no additional readings were scheduled.
