Council leaves trash receptacles and barriers at 120 West 1st Street, asks property owner to assume trash duties
Summary
After staff concern about city-owned items in the 120 West 1st Street parking lot, council voted to leave trash cans and concrete barriers in place on the property provided the property owner assumes responsibility for trash removal; staff will email the owner to confirm.
Councilors voted Oct. 28 to leave city-owned trash receptacles, signage and concrete barriers in the parking lot at 120 West 1st Street on the understanding that the property owner (Farm Bureau) would assume responsibility for trash pickup and maintenance.
Staff explained that several purchased items had been left in the lot and asked whether the council wanted staff to remove them or leave them in place; a council member suggested asking the property owner whether they wanted the items retained. “If he wants the trash can, then we’re not going to be responsible for doing the trash anymore,” S12 said (S12). After discussion the council voted to leave the items and instructed staff to email the property owner to confirm acceptance of trash responsibilities.
The motion carried by voice vote and staff will follow up with the property owner and report back to council if the owner declines to accept responsibility.
