SUBJECT:
Title
Discuss and consider approval of the first reading of an ordinance amending Chapter 86, Article I, Section 86-14 of the Code of Ordinances to extend the boundaries of the cooler and disposable container ordinance on the Guadalupe River to the Business 35 overpass inside the City limits.
Body
BACKGROUND / RATIONALE:
As created, the “Disposable Container and Cooler Size Ordinance” extends to the Mill Dam on the Guadalupe River. There is a desire to extend the boundary to the North Business Interstate 35 Overpass. Extension to this visual boundary will assist the City in managing the litter and trash at the areas around the Faust Street Bridge.
The Police Department and Park Rangers currently patrol this area; however, because the ordinance does not extend to this area, disposable container and cooler sizes cannot be controlled while in the river in this area.
ADDRESSES A NEED/ISSUE IN A CITY PLAN OR COUNCIL PRIORITY:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
Costs to install signage in the area is negligible and will come from the River Fund.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
The River Advisory Committee voted unanimously to recommend this ordinance change to the City Council.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the first reading of the ordinance.
