Members of the CityCommission DATE nn FILE
NOV 0-
SUBJECT
Chapter 22, Garbage and
Other Solid Waste Amendments
FROM: Jhald I I. Warshaw REFERENCES: Article IV. Lot Clearing
City Manager
ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended, that the City Commission approve amendments
to Chapter 22, Garbage and Other Solid Waste. Article IV. Lot Clearing which
include provisions for one notification of a violation of this article of the code per
year, per property; the inclusion of this notification in the code itself; and the
right to appeal pursuant to the provisions of this chapter of the code.
BACKGROUND
The procedure for the clearing of overgrown properties in the City has been
cumbersome, costly to the City, and has moved at a snail's pace, causing
ineffectiveness and inefficiencies. More importantly, the overgrowth and debris
threaten the health and well being of our residents and are unsightly blemishes
in our neighborhoods. Currently, the Code Enforcement official is required to
post the violation and notify the owner pursuant to the code. The Code allows
for the owner to have the property cleared within ten days of posting/notification,
but in reality, this lengthens the average length of time actually required for
clearance. Additionally, this creates additional expenses to the city by requiring
a second inspection by both City officials and interested bidders for the jobs.
The code requires a re -inspection after the ten day period if the property is not
cleared by the owner. The properties are then let for bids which causes an
additional delay in time before the clearance of the property.
11746
Honorable Mayor and Members Page 2
of the. City Commission
The Purchasing Department and the NET Offices have created a pool of lot
clearing contractors from whom they receive bids. Those under $175 are
immediately awarded. Bids over this amount are informally let. Heretofore there
had been problems with funding for this process and this caused further delays
in clearance of the lots.
The recommended amendments will go a long way towards resolving these
issues by eliminating notifications to the property owner each time they are in
violation; shortening the time required to have the property cleared; and the right
to an appeal will, place the property owner in a position to explain underlying
reasons for the non-compliance within the allotted time. Administrative
procedures will be put in place to support these code amendment objectives of
increasing voluntary compliance by property owners, speeding up the process of
clearing properties, and improving upon the appearance of our neighborhoods,
while decreasing the cost to the City.

Amendments to Chapter
22, Article IV. Lot Clearing
We have prepared the° attached amendments to Chapter 22, Garbage and Other
Solid Waste, Article IV. Lot Clearing, for consideration at the December eh City
Commission meeting. There are three major changes which are being proposed:
(1) one notification per year per property giving the city the authority to correct
subsequent violations without additional notification to the owner; (2) inclusion of
the notice which will be provided once per year, per lot; and (3) an appeal right
pursuant to Sec. 22-93.4.
As a separate item, we are developing revisions to the administrative procedures
for posting, notification and the manner in which the work is completed, i.e. either
with city forces or by engaging a contractor to perform the work required. Much of
this will be patterned after the City of Coral Gables.
