This ordinance also enacts a revised subsection 80.17(b)(3)iii. (currently 50.17(b)(3)iii.) to clarify when a citation is to be mailed to a property owner in addition to other methods of delivery and adds a new subsection 80.17(b)(5)v.)(c) to clarify that prior bulk waste and yard waste violations are to be considered as prior offenses for purposes of enforcing either subsection.

Background:
Issues/Analysis: Title V, Chapter 50 was previously the Public Works Section of Code and was renamed Office of Solid Waste rather than creating a new chapter for the Office of Solid Waste, which has created confusion for some applicants and residents of the City. This ordinance is to reestablish the Public Works section of code for clarity and ease of reference.
