Summary

Councilors unanimously waived formal readings and adopted Ordinance 17-84 (Uniform Public Offense Code) and Ordinance 17-85 (Standard Traffic Ordinance) by voice votes after a motion to treat the items as emergencies because of statewide law changes.

Gerald moved to waive the three formal readings and then to adopt two ordinances updating local code to match state-level changes. The measures were described as adopting the Uniform Public Offense Code and incorporating the Standard Traffic Ordinance.

"I would move siding concerns for safety, is to waive the 3 formal readings of ordinance number 17 84..." Gerald said, citing the change in state laws. The council approved waiving the readings, then adopted Ordinance 17-84 (amending Chapter 11, Article 1) and Ordinance 17-85 (amending Chapter 14, Article 1) by voice vote. No roll-call tally was provided; proponents characterized the actions as necessary to align the city code with updated laws.
