bank in the amount of $80,000. The City will provide a second mortgage for $36,750 and

CONSIDER AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 3, ENTITLED "FINANCES,

THE SAME AS THE FINE UNDER THE STATE CODE AND AMENDING TITLE 16,
ENTITLED "PUBLIC WORKS," CHAPTER 3, ENTITLED "CITY UTILITIES,"
ARTICLE H, ENTITLED "SOLID WASTE," TO BROADEN THE DEFINITION OF
LITTER. (SECOND CONSIDERATION)
Comment: This past spring the Iowa legislature increased the fine for littering on
streets and highways from $35.00 to $70.00. The City cannot have a smaller fine for
the same offense. Presently the City fine for littering, regardless of where it occurs, is
$35.00. This ordinance increases the fine for all littering violations to $70.00. This
ordinance also amends the definition of "litter" to make it more inclusive. Presently, it is
illegal to deposit garbage on the streets, parks, and other public places only if doing so
"unreasonably endangers public health, safety and welfare," and this ordinance deletes
that requirement. Staff recommends expedited action.
