BG2014 – 12 (First Reading) ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 2 (ADMINISTRATION) AND 27 (PROPERTY CODE) OF THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN CODE OF ORDINANCES TO ADOPT RECOMMENDED CHANGES FROM THE CITIZENS COMMITTEE ESTABLISHED TO REVIEW THE CITY’S PROPERTY CODE AND CHANGES RECOMMENDED BY THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND COMMUNITY SERVICES DEPARTMENT Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 12 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Hill and seconded by Williams for first reading of said Ordinance. DeFebbo recounted a review of the City’s Property Code with assistance by a Citizen Committee began over a year ago. He recommended approval of the changes which were presented at a previous work session. Commissioner Hill inquired if there had been any other discussion about developing a definition for excessive yard art and overgrown shrubbery. Neighborhood and Community Services Director Brent Childers responded that the Code Enforcement staff had discussed it internally. He stated that he would like to separate out that specific item in order to move forward with these revisions and to continue work on developing an appropriate standard to consider. Mr. DeFebbo interjected that the Code Enforcement Board (CEB) would be the arbitrator of such standards. Mr. Childers said they were still working on a mechanism to get from point A (complaint) to B (Code Enforcement Board) and would develop an internal policy for Code Enforcement Officers to follow. Commissioner Williams stated he thought that was a good starting point. Mayor Wilkerson voiced concern with language in Section 2-23.04(d) allowing the CEB to appoint its own member if the Board of Commissioners did not act within 60 days to fill a vacancy. He felt it was important that any prospective CEB member be accepted by the entire Board of Commissioners. Mayor Wilkerson also voiced concern with Section 2-23.10 which would allow the CEB to appoint a single hearing officer. He commented he did not like the idea of an individual hearing a case and thought it was more appropriate to have the entire CEB hearing cases. City Attorney Gene Harmon confirmed that the language contained in the ordinance regarding the vacancy issue was already existing language and both issues came straight out of state statutes. There was additional discussion about whether or not the state language was required or could be considered as a policy decision by the Board of Commissioners to remove it. There was also an inquiry if any other boards/commissions had the ability to appoint their own members if the Board of Commissioners did not act within a specified timeframe to fill a vacancy. Both Mr. Harmon and Ms. Schaller thought there was at least one other board/commission with similar language, but was unsure at this point which one. Since there was no rush to adopt the recommended changes, Mr. DeFebbo suggested the ordinance be tabled in order to find the answers to the questions. Motion was made by Wilkerson and seconded by Denning to table Ordinance No. BG2014 – 12 until the next meeting to 9 (Minutes-Board of Commissioners-May 20, 2014) allow the City Attorney to complete the requested research. With no discussion, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Waltrip, Williams and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None Motion to table first reading of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 12 was approved by unanimous vote. (Editor’s note: Since Mr. Harmon would not be able to attend the June 3rd meeting, the continued discussion of this ordinance would be postponed until July.) ORDINANCE NO. BG2014 – 13 (First Reading) ORDINANCE AMENDING CODE OF ORDINANCES ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTERS 5 (ANIMALS), 6 (BUILDING REGULATIONS), 8 (CEMETERIES), 13 (HEALTH), 15 (BUSINESS AND GENERAL REGULATIONS), 21 (STREETS AND SIDEWALKS), 26 (PUBLIC TREES) AND 28 (FLOOD DAMAGE PREVENTION) OF THE CITY OF BOWLING GREEN CODE OF ORDINANCES TO MOVE CIVIL CITATION ENFORCEMENT PROCEEDINGS TO CHAPTER 2 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES AND TO MAKE OTHER ADMINISTRATIVE AMENDMENTS Title and summary of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 13 was read by the Assistant City Manager/City Clerk. Motion was made by Hill and seconded by Williams for first reading of said Ordinance. As discussed with the previous item, Neighborhood and Community Services Director Brent Childers indicated several other chapters in the Code of Ordinances included civil penalties and would be cleaned up to move all specific enforcement action language to Chapter 2. DeFebbo confirmed these changes were considered an administrative cleanup. Mayor Wilkerson asked for additional discussion, and with none, a roll call vote was taken. ROLL CALL: Voting Yea: Denning, Hill, Waltrip, Williams and Wilkerson Voting Nay: None First reading of Ordinance No. BG2014 - 13 was approved by unanimous vote.
