Claycomo trustees adopt ordinances on dangerous drugs and keeping clear of first responders
Summary
The Village of Claycomo Board of Trustees on May 11 adopted two ordinances: one amending drug/paraphernalia rules to add a provision on dangerous drugs, and another making interference with first responders an offense with a 25-foot proximity rule. Votes were recorded by roll call.
The Village of Claycomo Board of Trustees adopted two ordinances during its May 11 regular meeting that tighten local rules on drug-related paraphernalia and on interference with emergency personnel.
Chairman Terry Bradich read the first ordinance aloud and Village Clerk Melody Wymore conducted the second reading of Bill No. 3080, an amendment to section 16-11 that adds section 16-11B addressing dangerous drugs. Trustee Larry Barrera moved to adopt the bill as Ordinance No. 3079; Trustee Renee Keelin seconded. The roll call recorded Trustees Barrera, Jett, Benton, Keelin and Chairman Bradich voting Yea and the motion carried.
Police Chief Matt Coonce presented Bill No. 3081 in its first reading; the clerk read the second reading. The proposed ordinance would address interference with first responders and city officials by establishing a requirement that individuals remain at least 25 feet away from responders performing duties. Trustee David Jett moved to adopt Bill No. 3081 as Ordinance No. 3080; Trustee Renee Keelin seconded. Roll call recorded Trustees Barrera, Jett, Benton and Keelin as Yea and the motion carried.
Why it matters: The first ordinance adds a local prohibition tied to dangerous drugs within the village code, while the second is intended to create clear distance rules to help protect responders at incident scenes. The board’s actions will place these provisions into the village municipal code as the ordinances are filed and published.
Next steps: The clerk will process the adopted ordinances for publication and inclusion in the village code. No effective dates were specified during the meeting.
