Summary
The committee approved three agenda items by voice vote: a no-parking designation on North Russell, revised loading/parking signage at 1555 Elm Street, and an amendment to Section 91-6-31 allowing Public Works to revoke curbside collection eligibility for cause.
The Committee on Public Safety, Health and Traffic voted on three items and approved all by voice vote.
Item 1 — North Russell no-parking: The committee approved a motion to designate “No Parking Anytime” on both sides of North Russell from Arrow to Whitford. The motion was moved by Alderman Morgan and seconded by Alderman Rivera. The record in the transcript shows a voice vote and the chair declared the motion approved.
Item 2 — 1555 Elm Street signage: The committee approved a communication from Amy Sanders on behalf of Brady Sullivan requesting an additional loading sign and revised parking time limits and signage at 1555 Elm Street. The motion was recorded as moved by Alderman Guden and seconded by Alderman Berg; the committee approved the item by voice vote.
Item 3 — Curbside collection ordinance amendment: The committee approved an amendment to Section 91-6-31 to authorize Public Works to revoke eligibility for municipal curbside collection for cause after multiple offenses. The motion was moved by Alderman Barry and seconded by Alderman Morgan and approved by voice vote. Committee discussion on this item included concerns about tenant impacts, absentee landlords, appeal procedures and whether alternative enforcement (including city pickup billed to landlords or certificate-of-occupancy measures) should be pursued.
All three motions were approved by voice vote; the transcript records the chair declaring “Ayes have it” for each approval.
