Council advances first reading to remove nightly curfew siren requirement
Summary
Council advanced the first reading of a curfew ordinance amendment that removes a long‑unused requirement to sound a city siren nightly at 10 p.m.; other curfew provisions remain unchanged.
Staff presented a narrow amendment to an existing curfew ordinance that removes a provision requiring the chief of public safety to sound a siren at 10 p.m. nightly; the amendment does not change curfew hours or enforcement provisions.
The presenter explained the siren requirement dates to 1971 and has not been practiced in many years. Council discussed alternative alert tools such as Nixle but noted those systems require resident enrollment. The council approved the first reading. "The only change that we're making to the ordinance is basically to remove that requirement," the presenter said.
