Council adopts ordinance restricting parking of inoperable vehicles on city streets
Summary
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 02-2026 (section 40.311), prohibiting parking of inoperable vehicles visible from public streets, authorizing law enforcement to post removal notices and establishing penalties; the revised language removed a prior 30-day stationary rule.
The Berea City Council adopted Ordinance 02-2026 on second reading Feb. 17, adding section 40.311 to the city code to prohibit parking of inoperable vehicles visible from public streets and giving law enforcement authority to post notices requiring timely removal.
Councilmember Gilbert (listed in the record as the presenting speaker) summarized the ordinance and said the change from first reading was the removal of language tied to a vehicle remaining stationary and unmoved for more than 30 days in areas visible from a public street. After a second reading the council moved to a roll call vote; all members present voted aye and the ordinance was approved and adopted.
The ordinance establishes notice procedures and penalties for violations; council did not record specific penalty amounts or enforcement schedules at the meeting.
Next steps: the ordinance will be codified and enforcement details will be coordinated with law enforcement and city staff.
