Council Minutes of 11-01-2016 for sale on Govdeals.gov. Presently anything of value over $1500.00 must come before Council with legislation to put it up for sale. This legislation raises that value to $10,000.00. There was a brief discussion and a motion was made by Barker to recommend approval which was seconded by Brossard and the vote was 3to0. • Last on the agenda was 2016-121 an Ordinance amending Section 351.11 of Chapter 351 (Parking Generally) of the Traffic Code, entitled "Parking of Unauthorized Vehicles in Residential and Business Districts; Impounding" in order to prohibit parking of trucks and to otherwise regulate parking vehicles on residential property. Presently when cars or trucks are reported parked on the grass it goes through the Building Dept. One problem Councilman Barker has experienced as well as other Council members is it has to be witnessed by an inspector. Then a letter is sent out and a follow up is done after 48 hours. That is if it is witnessed, a picture can be sent by the complainant but it has to be date and timed stamped. The violation usually happens after City Hall hours so it becomes a difficult enforcement procedure by the Building Department. With this moving into the traffic code it gives the City a tool to help eliminate this problem by ticketing on the spot by a police officer with a fine of $150.00. There was discussion as to how much time will be spent by officers with this problem. It is the opinion of the Safety Director and Councilman Barker that it isn't a huge problem and is usually done by the same offenders. They are confident with an officer just stopping by and asking the violator to remove the car or truck from the grass the violation will be quickly eliminated. The biggest concern is it seems some people feel the Codes do not need to be followed. Parking on the grass isn't a good vision for our City. Councilman Barker is confident this tool will be used sparingly, but it is there if needed. A motion was made by Barker to recommend approval of Ordinance 2016-121 which was seconded by Brossard and the vote was 3 to 0.
