Council adopts ordinance setting up Williams trademark licensing program
Summary
The council adopted Ordinance No. 1027 to establish a Trademark Licensing Program allowing local businesses to license the City's trademark; the ordinance passed after a spelling correction was noted and approved by unanimous vote.
The City Council adopted Ordinance No. 1027 on July 23, 2026, creating a Trademark Licensing Program to allow local businesses to use the City of Williams' trademark under an approved license. The Deputy City Clerk read the ordinance number and title; Councilmember Payne moved to approve Ordinance No. 1027 "establishing a Trademark Licensing Program with a spelling correction to the title," and Councilmember Campbell seconded. The motion passed.
Council discussion focused on allowing local businesses to use the trademark and on ensuring the program's terms would protect the City's intellectual property while supporting local economic activity. Staff indicated licenses would be voided when a business changed name, ownership, or location; previously licensed businesses would be grandfathered in.
