Summary

Council agreed to introduce a draft 'tire business' ordinance in two weeks, modeled on a Baton Rouge measure, to address outdoor tire storage and property frontage maintenance; the city attorney prepared a draft for public review.

The City of Baker council agreed to schedule formal introduction of a draft ordinance aimed at regulating tire businesses’ outdoor storage and improving commercial frontage conditions.

Doctor Vincent, a council member, said the draft mirrors measures passed in Baton Rouge and asked City Attorney Mary Barkin to prepare a local version. "The attorney has worked very hard," Vincent said, adding that the draft will be given to residents so they can review it before the formal introduction.

The presiding officer confirmed the timeline and the council agreed to bring the ordinance forward for introduction in two weeks so the public can take the draft home and comment. Council discussion framed the measure as a code-enforcement tool intended to encourage property upkeep rather than to punish compliant businesses.

City staff will publish the draft and follow the city’s standard public-notice and introduction process; the council did not adopt a final ordinance at this meeting but moved to adopt the draft for introduction and future hearing.
