Ann Arbor City Council Voting Chart for the Meeting of February 21, 2023
Tonight is a special Tuesday-edition of City council, due to President’s Day. Here’s the agenda.
The evening kicks off with a substantial, 17-item consent agenda. CA-1 is closing Monroe St for the 2023 Monroe St Fair. The police and fire departments are opposed to this because the the event would coincide with the University’s spring football game. It was pulled for additional discussion, and ultimately postponed in order to find a more suitable location.
There are two public hearings on tonight’s docket. PH-1/B-1 is the second reading of the amendment to the Tax Exemption for Housing Projects ordinance. PH-2/B-2 is the second reading of an ordinance to amend the city’s discrimination ordinance. Neither elicited resident input.
On to the resolutions. DC-1 is a resolution to appoint non-resident electors to city boards and commissions. DC-2 is the contract for the East Medical Center Drive Bridge. DC-3 is a resolution to support common sense gun safety laws at the state level. There were four friendly amendments to the resolution to tweak the language. DS-1 is a resolution to approve a payment in lieu of taxes (PILOT) for affordable housing at Union at A2 at 2050 Commerce Drive.
