Alderman signals plan to propose ordinance to ban leaving leaves/grass clippings in streets
Summary
A committee member told colleagues they intend to bring an amendment to the applicable ordinance to make placing leaves, grass clippings or other debris in the street a citable offense; no vote was taken and members were asked to discuss offline.
During the meeting’s communications segment, a committee member said they intend to draft and move forward with an amendment or revision to the applicable ordinance to make placing leaves, grass clippings or other yard debris in the street a citable offense.
The speaker framed the remark as an advance notice rather than a formal motion: “This is not for a vote. It's just your awareness. That's my intent to bring that motion forward,” the committee member said. They invited colleagues to provide comments offline.
No formal ordinance language was provided at the meeting and no vote was taken. The committee did not record public comments on that subject during audience time.
What’s next: the speaker expects to introduce formal ordinance language at a future meeting; council members were asked to review the idea and provide feedback to the sponsor outside the meeting.
