During a meeting last month, the St. Joseph City Council did not vote on the issue of implementing a city seat belt ordinance, but decided to send it to voters.

As previously reported, the St. Joseph Youth Alliance has been part of a group that has presented to the city council about the importance of implementing a city seat belt ordinance.

The first reading of the bill to place the issue on the April 2018 ballot will be during the city council meeting at 7 p.m. on Monday at St. Joseph City Hall, 1100 Frederick Avenue, on the third floor of the council chambers.
