Analysis
Council file number 060470, prohibiting the parking of certain vehicles in which junk is collected or stored, was adopted 9/26/2006. In a subsequent written opinion, the city attorney determined that the ordinance was not legal and enforceable as drafted.
This ordinance repeals the provisions of file number 060470 that were determined to be unenforceable and creates new provisions limited to the parking of vehicles in which junk is collected in activities that are subject to licensure under the requirements of
s. 92-3 of the code relating to junk collectors and junk dealers. The parking restriction applies to vehicles used in activities subject to licensing requirements whether or not a valid license has been issued and is in force.
This ordinance prohibits parking or standing of a vehicle that contains collected junk or in which junk is stored except while the vehicle is actively engaged in the process of loading or unloading. The prohibition applies to all highways of the city. Vehicles found in violation may be towed. The prohibition is further incorporated into the regulations governing junk collectors and dealers.
This ordinance also retains the penalty for violations provided in file number 060470 of $55 to $75, and retains the $55 amount for a stipulation. In addition to the reclamation charge of $95 and $20 for each day of storage, an additional reclamation charge may be imposed for the actual costs, including costs of labor, incurred in the treatment, disposal, removal or abatement of any substance, chemical or other material contained within or upon a vehicle when such action is necessary to render the vehicle in a safe and sanitary condition.
