The council approved the second reading of Ordinance 6‑13 to amend city code section 50‑97 concerning abandoned and derelict vehicles on private property.

"This ordinance... makes amendment to section 50‑97 as it relates to abandoned and derelict vehicles, specifically on private properties as state code covers abandoned vehicles on public properties," Charlie said.
Council member (mover) made a motion and council approved the second reading by unanimous vote. The ordinance will replace the existing code language and staff indicated the change was brought forward after counsel’s favorable first read.
