RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing on May 7, 2015, at 5:32 p.m. for Consideration of Amending the Inoperable Vehicle Ordinance

That the Board authorize scheduling a Public Hearing on May 7, 2015 at 5:32 p.m. for consideration of amending Chapter 42, Section 42-196 of the Escambia County Code of Ordinances, as it relates to Inoperable Vehicles and providing a definition of “inoperable” and “vehicle.”

BACKGROUND:

The enforcement of Escambia County’s environmental code advances the health, safety, and welfare of the citizens. Inoperable vehicles may qualify as a nuisance condition. In order to enhance environmental code enforcement officers’ ability to identify and abate nuisance conditions caused by inoperable vehicles, it is necessary to amend the language of the Ordinance and to define the words “inoperable” and “vehicle.”
