COMMISSION/BOARD/COMMITTEE COMMENT:
STAFF REVIEW AND COMMENT: As the Iowa Department of Transportation has already
amended the speed limits along Hickman Road and they are currently in
effect, City staff recommends approval of the second reading of the
ordinance in title only and waiver of the third reading. The Code of Iowa
requires a vote of not less than three-fourths of all the members of the
council (or 4 out of 5, in Waukee’s case) in order to waive readings of an
ordinance.
RECOMMENDATION: Approve the second reading of the ordinance in title only, waive the
third reading and place the ordinance on final passage.
