Mankato council adopts ordinance regulating unattended, unauthorized and abandoned vehicles
The Mankato City Council on Oct. 27 adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 16 (Traffic and Vehicles) by adding Article 7, which establishes rules for unattended, unauthorized and abandoned vehicles.

City staff explained the change followed a recent recodification of the city code and a recommendation from the code attorney to further refine regulations on unattended and abandoned vehicles. City Clerk Kopischke said staff worked with public-safety and parking personnel and aligned the draft article with relevant state statute language.

The council opened a public hearing on the ordinance, received no public testimony and closed the hearing. A motion to approve the ordinance and summary publication passed on roll call.

The ordinance will be summarized in the official city publication as authorized by the council.
