Department: City Clerk
Case/Project No.:
Submitted by: Graham Jura on behalf of PD | Ordinance 6646
ITEM 7.A. | Council Action: 5/5/2025 |
|
| | | | | | | | Description
Ordinance to amend Title 9 "Traffic" of the 2020 Municipal Code of Council Bluffs, Iowa, by amending Chapter 9.72.357 "Open Containers in Motor Vehicles" to differentiate between the driver and a passenger. |
|
| | | | | | | | Background/Discussion
Iowa Code designates 2 different code sections for Open Container in Motor Vehicle. Iowa Code Section 321.284 identifies the driver and Iowa Code Section 321.282A identifies the passenger, making it clear to all parties when which role was played when issuing and filing the citations. PD and Legal have reviewed the Iowa Code and our current CBMC 9.72.357 and have determined that it is best to be consistent with Iowa Code and differentiate between parties as well. |
|
| | | | | | | | Recommendation
Approval is recommended. |
