REQUEST:

Staff requests City Council approval of the Ordinance amending Chapter 15.00.00, and subsuming Section 11-16 within Chapter 15.00.00.  Additionally, Sections 11-17 and 11-18 are to be stricken from the Code.



DISCUSSION
:

From time to time it becomes necessary to amend portions of the code to address various issues that the City faces and to increase efficiency.  In order to assist the City’s Code Enforcement Department it is necessary to merge the City’s Excessive growth and accumulations section contained in Section 11-16 with Chapter 15.00.00 of the code which addresses general storage, unsanitary conditions, and general public nuisance issues.  In sum, the amended Chapter as presented, provides for definitions, and clarification of nuisance activities.

 

This ordinance was presented to City Council for first reading on June 7, 2016 and is before you this evening for its second and final reading. 



RECOMMENDATION:

Staff recommends approval of the proposed Ordinance relative to amending 15.00.00 of the City Code regarding general public nuisances.



BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
