Commission approves letter on littering fines to city attorney, DOT and DNR
Summary
The Parks and Environmental Commission voted to send a draft letter on littering fines to the city attorney and to circulate copies to the state Department of Transportation and Department of Natural Resources for review.
The Parks and Environmental Commission voted Oct. 13 to send a draft letter on littering fines to the city attorney and to forward copies to the Wisconsin Department of Transportation and the Department of Natural Resources for review.
A commissioner made a motion to approve the letter, amended to add distribution to the DOT and DNR and to request the city attorney’s review. The motion passed by voice vote after a brief discussion about likely public reaction on social media and whether additional agencies should see the letter.
Commissioners said the intent was to encourage enforcement beyond the city’s borders where vehicles traverse city streets and to clarify jurisdictional reach for litter enforcement. Staff said they would route the document to the city attorney and obtain any suggested edits before broader distribution.
