Middleville council adopts ordinance clarifying who may authorize no-parking signs
Summary
The village council approved Ordinance 2143 (amending section 66‑129) to clarify which village officers may authorize official no-parking signage; the motion passed unanimously on roll call and the change does not require a public hearing, staff said.
The Middleville Village Council on June 18 approved an amendment to section 66‑129 clarifying who may authorize official no-parking signs in the village.
Mr. Powers, speaking for staff, told the council the ordinance language had been reviewed with the village attorney and "the staff recommends that the village council approve ordinance number 2143" to update no-parking standards and identify primary officers responsible for authorizing signs. He said the ordinance would not require a public hearing and that no new signs were being installed at the meeting.
A council member moved to approve the ordinance, the motion received a second, and the mayor called for a roll-call vote. Council members recorded “yes” votes and the motion passed unanimously.
Why it matters: the change centralizes authority to place official no-parking signs and is intended to address EMS access concerns raised last year, staff said. Advocates of the change said it would give the village a clearer administrative pathway to prevent vehicles from blocking emergency routes.
What happens next: the ordinance was adopted by council motion. The council did not identify immediate signage changes at this meeting; any future placement of no-parking signs will follow the updated procedure in the ordinance.
