SUMMARY STATEMENT:
This agenda bill will engage the City Council in a follow up work session with City staff and legal counsel to discuss ongoing enforcement issues during winter snowplow operations resulting
from:
Private entity snow storage within City public rights-of-way (ROW)
Parking of vehicles and trailers on City streets that interfere with snowplow operations.
The first work session (5/28/21) presented to the Council problems with existing code language and practical challenges for efficient enforcement. Information regarding these concerns
was summarized in the 5/19/21 memo by Nathan Stewart to City Council (attached). Staff recommendations for code revisions were provided with the intent to reengage the Council when
more formal draft code revisions and policy recommendations could be provided.
The second work session (12/2/21) presented to Council a draft code revisions and policy modifications that provided the most efficient and effective enforcement alternatives to current
practice. Increasing penalties for those violating the City’s ROW snow storage and parking restrictions will also be discussed.
Based on feedback from the previous work sessions, legal counsel has prepared a draft ordinance, attached, to institute the code revisions/policy modifications. This is the second touch
on this ordinance, pending any changes a clean ordinance will be presented at a future meeting for adoption. At that time a recommended fee schedule will be presented, and a public
hearing scheduled to adopt those fees.
