Mount Angel Council adopts traffic-and-parking code changes, approves generator funding
Summary
On its December meeting, the Mount Angel City Council adopted Ordinance 769 revising chapter 70 (traffic and parking), approved a supplemental transfer to hook up a donated generator at city hall, and passed routine consent items.
The Mount Angel City Council adopted an ordinance revising the city’s traffic and parking code and approved a supplemental appropriation to complete a city-hall generator hookup during its December meeting.
Ordinance 769, described by staff as a cleaned-up second reading with only minor deletions and reorganizations from the city attorney’s office, amends Mount Angel Municipal Code chapter 70 (traffic and parking regulations). The council moved to accept the second reading and proceed with adoption after staff said there were no substantive changes from the attorney’s review.
Councilor Wall moved to approve the consent agenda and the ordinance motion was seconded. The roll-call recorded multiple ayes and several absences; staff announced the adopted ordinance as Order No. 769.
Council also considered a supplemental budget transfer to finish work connecting a donated mobile generator to city hall. Staff said the city received an $88,000 mobile generator through a grant, but local bids for hookup work put the expected project cost at about $50,000 — roughly $30,000 more than the amount currently budgeted. Staff recommended transferring funds from contingency into building maintenance to complete the project and urged completing the work this fiscal year to ensure emergency operations during outages.
Councilor Wong moved to approve Resolution 1547, transferring appropriations within the general fund to cover the project; the motion received a second and council agreed to proceed.
Other routine business — including payroll/accounts review and November meeting minutes — passed on the consent agenda. The meeting included several absences noted during roll call.
