The Winston-Salem City Council approved on second reading an ordinance described by the clerk as establishing youth protection measures intended to protect minors and reduce late-night crime and disorder.
Council member Recipio moved approval of Item G-2; Councilman Clark seconded. The mayor called for votes and announced, "The motion passes, 5 to 3, in favor, and the motion passes." The mayor also stated that the ordinance becomes effective.
The transcript records the passage and the stated goal of the ordinance to reduce late-night crime and disorder but does not include the ordinance text, specific enforcement mechanisms, effective date beyond the mayors announcement, or the names of those who voted yes and no.
Because the roll-call vote was summarized verbally rather than read in full in the transcript, the article reports the tally as stated in the meeting record.
