LAUDERDALE COUNCIL <br />ACTION FORM <br />Action Requested <br />• <br />Public Hearing <br />Discussion x <br />• _x <br />Resolution <br />• Session <br />Meeting Date . May 27, 2014 <br />STAFF INITIAL <br />As I am sure you have noticed, some business have not been removing graffiti from their <br />properties. Conversations with them have been fairly fruitless. City ordinance does not re- <br />quire that graffiti be removed, however. Staff recommends changing that and has prepared <br />language to require the prompt removal of graffiti. <br />In preparing the revisions, staff also cleaned up language that the police officers and city <br />attorney felt didn't clearly prohibit one party from placing snow on their neighbor's proper- <br />ty. Additionally, staff recommend going back to the standard of giving property owners 24 <br />hours to remove snow from in front of their properties. After big snow events, it can be dif- <br />ficult to accomplish in 12 hours. No one was ever issued a citation after 12 hours but 24 <br />hours seems fair. <br />The ordinance can always be amended prior to adoption. Prior to adoption, a public hearing <br />also must be held. <br />STAFF RECOMMENDATION: <br />Motion to approve Ordinance 14-03, amending Lauderdale City Code regarding Health and <br />Safety; Nuisances. <br />
