ITEM EXPLANATION
The subject ordinance amends several street and sidewalk sections of the City
Code. These particular sections pertain to the dropping of debris £rom
vehicles, storage of building materials in the public rights of way, and the
procedures for controlling the above.
Section 12 .12. 080. Debris Dropped £rom Vehicles. This section gives the
� authority to the Director of Public Works to order the responsible party to
clean up any material that has been dropped from a moving vehicle immediately.
The problem mainly exists with contractors in the City and this section of
the code is amended to add the provision that the Public Works Director can
hold up approvals on the project until such time as the debris is removed
£rom the streets.
Section 12.12. 090 . Storage of Building Materials - Temporary Encroachment
� Permit Required. This section of the code is concerned with the storing
of building materials, dirt, etc. in the public rights of way during a con-
struction project. The original section stated that it was unlawful to store
building materials in the public right of way for a period greater than 7 '
days without obtaining a permit. The new section is now amended to require
a permit for the storage of materials in the public right of way without
regard to a time limit. It also provides that the Director o£ Public Works
shall determine a reasonable length of time £or the storage of such materials

in the street. -•This has become a problem, mainly with pool contractors who
, store sand, etc. in the publ'ic right of way without obtairiing permits.
Control by the City is necessary to ensure that the storage is done within
safe parameters and that adequate provision will be made for traf£ic,
drainage, etc.
� Section 12.12.100. The old section entitled "Temporary Encroachment Permit
Fees was merely added onto 12. 12.080, as discussed above and a new section
12. 12.100, Temporary Encroachment Permit Fees, was added to enforce section
12. 12.090. This merely adds the authority to charge a $10 fee for a tempo-
rary encroachment permit and provides that if a permit had not been issued
prior to the encroachment, then the fee shall be double.
Section 12. 12.110. Remeval of Obstructions from Streets Required - Notice -
City Performance When = Costs Deemed L'ien = Colle'ction. This section
presently requires that any unauthorized obstructions placed within the
public right of way shall be removed within 2 weeks after notification by
� the Director of Public Works. This section is being amended so that the
material shall be removed within a reasonable period of time, as determined
by the Director of Public Works, depending upon the nature of the obstruction.
This amendment is necessary due to the fact that if a serious condition
exists it should be definitely removed prior to a 2-week period.
Section 12. 28.030. ' Improvements not Requiring Council Authorization -
Temporary Encroachments. Section B. This section provides for certain
. minor types of encroachment permits that the Director of Public Works can
authorize, in lieu of Council. Examples are fences, certain retaining walls
and private utilities in the public right of way. Division B of this
section states that the Director of Public Works may permit temporary
encroachments in the public right of way for certain items that otherwise
would require Council approval for encroachments. The original section
states that the temporary period shall not exceed 90 days. The new section
states "for a reasonable period of time as determined by the Director of
Public Works. " Many temporary encroachment permits involve construction
jobs which can often exceed 90 days in length and since it is still a
temporary encroachment, it would not be practical to request Council action.
