Resident asks council to consider ordinance for nonrunning vehicles after motorhome moved repeatedly into neighborhood
Summary
A resident reported an old, nonrunning motorhome circling the neighborhood for two months and asked the council to consider an ordinance to address vehicles parked on city streets for extended periods.
Joan Schabel addressed the council during audience comments on Aug. 20 to report a neighborhood nuisance caused by an old motorhome she said has been moving around her block for roughly two months and is packed with junk. Schabel said the police told her to raise the matter with the council because the city lacks an ordinance prohibiting vehicles that are disabled and repeatedly left on city streets for extended periods. Schabel asked the council to consider an ordinance to prevent similar situations and to provide enforcement options for residents. The council did not take immediate action during public comment; staff indicated they will review the issue and determine whether existing ordinances or enforcement options apply.
