Unattended Vehicle Ordinance Amendment - Ordinance amending Title 9, Motor Vehicles and Traffic, Chapter 3, Rules of 7 - `t-TaS the Road, Section 9, General Driving Restrictions, Subsection C, referencing unattended vehicles, to allow safely parked vehicles with the motor running to be left unattended, matching State code. (Second Consideration) Comment: The current City ordinance prohibits vehicles from being left unattended unless their motor is turned off and the ignition keys removed. The growing prevalence of remote start functionality, as well as keyless ignition, has rendered those portions of this ordinance obsolete. For that reason, the State legislature recently eliminated those requirements, while preserving the requirement that such vehicles be safely secured.

The City's Affordable Housing Action Plan includes a provision to allow the City to order that rent be abated in an emergency. This ordinance allows the City to order that rent be abated in certain instances when the Housing Code violations pose a substantial risk to the health or safety of the tenant and when the landlord fails to obtain a rental permit.

Assessment Schedule — Resolution adopting an assessment schedule of unpaid mowing, clean-up of property, snow removal, sidewalk repair, and stop box repair charges and directing the Clerk to certify the same to the Johnson County Treasurer for collection in the same manner as property taxes. Comment: The City has the authority under Iowa Code §364.136 to assess the nuisance abatement costs in the same manner as a property tax. This resolution allows the City Clerk to certify to the Johnson County Treasurer the abatement cost to be assessed against the property. This assessment is being pursued only after the City took many steps to resolve the matter. The City notified the homeowners to abate the nuisance (for example, to remove snow from the sidewalk) and after the homeowner did not take action to abate the nuisance, the City abated the nuisance and billed the owner. The City has sent a letter to the homeowner giving them notice that this resolution would be on the agenda, a copy of which is attached to the resolution. No interest will be charged if the owner pays within 30 days of the first required publication. Attached as an exhibit to the resolution is a list of the properties that will be assessed and the amount that will be assessed. Action: Item 17. Council AppointmentS.
