First Responder and Traffic Stop Ordinances

At a glance

  • What: three proposed ordinances: a buffer around first responders (no approaching within 25 feet after a warning with intent to interfere, threaten or harass), a ban on operating a vehicle while holding a hand-held electronic device (including school and work zones), and making it an offense to ignore a peace officer's emergency lights.
  • Where it stands: all three were on the 2026-10-27 business agenda; the vote is not recorded in the posted agenda.
  • Next: check the 2026-10-27 minutes when posted.
