Summary

The City Council passed Ordinance Nos. 3,282 (amending school‑zone traffic provisions to align with state statute from the 2025 special session) and 3,283 (adding cost recovery for hazardous spills). City Attorney Andy Moore confirmed the school‑zone changes track state law.

The City Council passed two ordinances on final action: Ordinance No. 3,282 updates multiple sections of the municipal code related to school‑zone civil infractions, no‑passing zones, U‑turns and speed limits to align with changes from the 2025 special session (identified in the meeting as '86'); and Ordinance No. 3,283 adds a chapter (8.05) to allow the city to recover costs from hazardous spills or accidents.

City Attorney Andy Moore (speaker 13) said the school‑zone ordinance is in response to the state statute change and brings municipal code into compliance. Council members moved and the mayor called the motions passed on the record. The transcript does not record a roll‑call vote tally in open session for these adoptions but the chair announced the motions passed.

Council members said the changes are intended to improve school‑zone safety and allow the city to recoup costs when hazardous material incidents require city response. The ordinances were adopted as laid out in the agenda with no amendments recorded at the meeting.
