Sabula council approves amendment to traffic code after public hearing; readings waived
Summary
After a public hearing, the Sabula City Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 5-2024 to clarify Title III, Chapter 3 (Traffic Code) and increase a weight limit; council also waived the second and third readings.
The Sabula City Council on July 23 unanimously approved Ordinance 5-2024, an amendment to Title III, Community Protection, Chapter 3 (Traffic Code), after a public hearing and brief discussion. Councilmember Mike O’Hara moved to adopt the ordinance; Jim Phillips seconded and the motion carried "all ayes." Mayor Pro Tem Teena Franzen presided.
At the public hearing, resident Dan Pieffer asked whether the change was prompted by a complaint and whether it was intended to prevent semitrailers from parking on the highway. Police Chief Nixon said the amendment is intended to clarify the existing ordinance and noted that the city has raised the weight limit (amount not specified in the record); he added the amendment is meant to prevent blockage of access.
Council subsequently voted to waive the second and third readings of the ordinance. Councilmember Dave Ward moved to waive the remaining readings; Jim Phillips seconded and the motion carried unanimously. The record shows the ordinance was approved and the readings waived by unanimous vote. The council moved on to other business after the votes.
