Council reviews ordinance updates to align with recent state laws on handheld devices, alcohol transport and marijuana consumption
The Village reviewed several ordinance updates intended to align local code with changes enacted by the state legislature. Speaker 5 introduced an ordinance described as "ordinance 7 80 pertaining to the prohibition on the use of handheld cellular telephones and electronic communication devices in school and work zones." Speaker 2 prefaced the set of items, stating "the next 3 items came from, state legislature this year."

Council members and staff discussed overlap between the new state provisions and existing municipal code. Speaker 6 noted the municipal code already contains sections addressing similar conduct, and Speaker 2 observed that the state statute excludes private and charter buses in passenger areas. Speaker 6 added the changes give officers "a little bit more" authority, and participants asked whether the new state language would preempt or supplement local code.

Another ordinance under consideration concerned transportation of alcoholic beverages and prohibitions on consuming marijuana in certain contexts; speakers debated whether existing code already addresses the same situations and whether enforcement or exemptions (for certain bus types) apply. The transcript records discussion and clarification of statutory exclusions but does not include a recorded vote on these ordinances in the provided segments.

If the body later adopted codified changes, the transcript excerpt does not include the final motions or roll-call tallies.
