Blackman Township Ordinance

imported post

Just got of the phone with Cabman. He said there is a meeting tomorrow in Jackson about the unlawful ordinance and that Banger and Mahees would be there. Is this true? Where, and when? Can we OC there (I assume we can). I want to try and make it.

tomorrow is not a blackman township meeting, it is a city of jackson meeting. I will have to confirm with maahes but as of a few days ago we were still planning to be there.

Can you OC in that building?

imported post

no idea, maahes prolly knows and will prolly chime in on this tomorrow when he is at work.

imported post

Yes there is a meeting tonight

I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to OC. There is no court or jail in the building. I OCd to a Jackson County board meeting months ago and nothing was said. Tonight's meeting is not in the same room as that one but it shouldn't make a difference.

I have not had time to prepare comments for the meeting, hopefully will today if these vendors leave me alone.

Does anyone have any info on what tonights meeting will be about exactly? I know there was a meeting a few weeks ago. What happened there, and what should we expect to prepare in writing if we plan on addressing the council?

Tonights Agenda: http://www.cityofjackson.org/wards/allwards/2009Packets/cc_Final Agenda_12-15-09A.pdf

If you plan to address the council there is a form at the door that you fill out and hand in to the clerk or mayor. Citizen comments are limited to 3 minutes (not specified if that is each or total time for all comments).

Edited to add: Opps wrong CTRL-V

I did find this from a previous meeting. However nothing has been updated on the city ordinace site.

D. FINAL ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 2009.14 AMENDING CHAPTER 18,
SECTION 18-185, CITY CODE, CLARIFYING THAT TRANSPORTING,
CARRYING, OR POSSESSING A DANGEROUS WEAPON DOES NOT INCLUDE

FOR THESE PURPOSES.
Motion was made by Councilmember Greer and seconded by Councilmember Polaczyk

Mayor Ludwig and Councilmembers Breeding, Howe, Greer, Gaiser, Frounfelker and

Ill have to do some more digging, may not even need to go tonight...

Edit again:
Yep looks like it was taken care of during the November 10th meeting, wish I had been notified, Id have skipped work and gone to the meeting.

But Yay! no more illegal ordinance in Jackson. And apart from Blackman Township, that may wrap up Jackson County :celebrate

imported post

Good job! So no need to go tonight?

imported post

I may go just to thank the council on record for taking the time to correct the ordinance. I havent decided though, as it just dropped on my priority list of things to do lol.

Well Cabman was saying the Channel 6 & 11 news was going to be there tonight. Kimberguy was under the impression we might be discussing the issues he has been dealing with.

If the media is going to be there, it might be a perfect time to get this videos into the right hands. I can make copies of the videos.

imported post

Just talked with Kimberguy. He doesn't want to talk with the City Council tonight on such short notice. He is possibly going, and meeting me there to give these videos to the media.

I called you, and whoever answered you phone said you went to the hospital. That is why I didn't show. Figured the ordiance was already handle as Mahees stated, Kimberguy said he wasn't going to go and talk about his situation, and as I stated, someone told me you went to the hospital so I figured you weren't at City Hall. I didn't see any reason to go.

Sorry
