Council votes to refer advisory 20 mph speed-limit question to voters
Summary
The council approved Resolution (Council Bill 3,297) to refer an advisory ballot question asking whether the council should consider 20 mph speed zones on local/residential streets; staff made minor edits to the ballot title to meet state word-count requirements and the resolution passed by roll call vote.
Council introduced Council Bill 3,297, a resolution to refer an advisory question to the city's electors on whether the council should consider implementing 20 mph speed limit zones on local streets and residential districts. Staff said the ballot title and explanatory statement were edited slightly to conform to state law word-count limits.
A staff member explained how the ballot materials will be included in the ballot book, and the council took a roll-call vote. The resolution passed; the council will publish the adopted ballot title and explanatory statement as part of the election materials.
No implementation action was taken at this meeting beyond referral to the voters; the measure is advisory and would require later council consideration for any ordinance change.
