AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF JEFFERSON, MISSOURI, PROHIBITING THE
OUTDOOR DISPLAY AND STORAGE OF TIRES.
WHEREAS, this City Council believes that the outdoor storage
of tires can result in the creation of dangers to the public
health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Jefferson City;
and,
WHEREAS, the outdoor storage of tires should be regulated in
order to limit potential dangers to the public health, safety and
welfare of the citizens of the City;
WHEREAS, the Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger) mosquito has
been recognized as a serious and growing threat to public health
because of its feeding habits, disease transmitting capabilities,
and rapid increasing numbers throughout the Midwest; and,
WHEREAS, new and used tires constitute one of the most
significant breeding sites and methods of spreading infestation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ENACTED BY THE COUNCIL OF JEFFERSON CITY,
MISSOURI, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. That no person, firm or corporation shall store
or display new or used tires outside of a building.
Section 2. That any person, firm or corporation who
violates any section of this ordinance shall be guilty of a
misdemeanor.
Section 3. The only exception to the outdoor storage
prohibition set out above shall be as follows:
a) Licensed business may display tires during normal
working hours for advertisement purposes. Tires must
be covered in such a way as to prevent them from
holding water.
b) Tires may be used as play ground equipment provided
that any such tires shall have been rendered incapable
of holding water.
Section 4. That this ordinance be declared an emergency
measure in the interest of the public health, welfare and safety
and for the further reason that the improper outdoor storage of
tires within the City creates conditions hazardous to the safety
and health of the inhabitants of the City and it is necessary to
correct said conditions at the earliest possible time, and this
ordinance shall be in full force and effect upon the date of its
passage and approval provided that any person, firm or
