Commission approves first reading of street‑sweeping ordinance; signage to be the enforceable element
Summary
City manager presented an ordinance to codify street‑sweeping regulations and penalties; Public Works said signage will make the rules enforceable and staff will run a 30–60 day outreach/notification period. First reading passed 5‑0.
The Opa‑locka City Commission on Nov. 12 approved first reading of an ordinance amending the code to establish street‑sweeping regulations and enforcement through posted signage.
Public Works Director (Mr. Austin) told the commission that, once the ordinance is codified, the requirements and hours will be referenced on signs and those signs will be the enforceable instrument. He said staff will also publish information on the city's website and social media. Vice Mayor Kelly and others asked whether a public awareness campaign would accompany signage; staff said they plan a 30–60 day period between passage and active enforcement to allow for signage fabrication and notifications.
First reading passed 5‑0.
