Title
ADOPTION OF ORDINANCE NO. 30-17 AMENDING CHAPTER 100, “NUISANCES” AMENDING SECTION 101.01, “EXISTENCE OF WEEDS, TRASH AND VEGETATION UPON LANDS PROHIBITED,” SECTION 32.17, “GROUNDS FOR REMOVAL”; AND REPEALING SECTION 32.18, “PROCEDURE”. (SECOND READING)
Body
Recommended Action:
Recommendation
Motion to Approve Ordinance No. 30-17 on second reading.
Body
Background:
This proposed ordinance seeks to amend Chapter 100, specifically, section 101.01, “Existence of Weeds, Trash and Vegetation Upon Lands Prohibited.” Currently, the maintenance of public alleyways is the responsibility of the owner having possession or control of the contiguous real property. This ordinance eliminates that requirement and places the responsibility to maintain public alleyways with the City.
City Attorney Review:
Approved as to form and legal sufficiency.
