Body

BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:

On May 18, 2017, the Texas Third Court of Appeals issued a ruling on the Disposable Container Ordinance in the City’s favor. It is anticipated that the Court will issue a mandate that will give the City more information on implementation parameters.  The last known mandate date was August, 15, 2017; however, as of this memo, the mandate date is now unknown based on the 3rd Court of Appeals website calendar.

 

At the June 12, 2017 City Council meeting, the Council requested that City staff formulate a plan to implement the rules related to the disposable container ordinance and present it at the July 10, 2017 City Council meeting.  Staff has collaborated with the Convention and Visitors Bureau and will present the plan to the City Council at the July 10, 2017 meeting.  The presentation will be provided to the City Council in advance of the meeting.
