There being no one to speak to this issue, <br /> Mayor Dietz closed the public hearing. <br /> Moved by Councilmember Westgaard and seconded by Councilmember <br /> Olsen to adopt ordinance 17-04 amending Chapter 30 regarding signage. <br /> Motion carried 5-0. <br /> 7.5 Ordinance Amendment Relating to Dumpsters and Portable Storage <br /> Containers in City Right-of-Way <br /> Mr. Leeseberg presented the staff report. <br /> Councilmember Ovall questioned which cities were surveyed for this item. Mayor <br /> Dietz concurred he would like this information. Mr. Leeseberg indicated he was <br /> given the information from another staff member but he can get the information. He <br /> noted the information will vary greatly from city to city. <br /> Councilmember Ovall questioned if there is a process in place to have a portable <br /> storage container or dumpster for less than 48 hours. He explained he feels the <br /> permit fee and escrow amount seem high and the process seems cumbersome. He <br /> explained he doesn't like the assumption of guilt and this process doesn't seem <br /> welcoming. <br /> Mayor Dietz questioned who is responsible for damage. It was noted the <br /> homeowner will blame the dumpster company and the dumpster company will <br /> blame the homeowner. Mayor Dietz stated he agrees with some form of payment up <br /> front that is refunded right away upon removal of the portable storage or dumpster. <br /> Mr. Leeseberg indicated the $100 permit fee is consistent with a street disruption <br /> permit and the escrow is half of what is collected for planning applications. He noted <br /> there is only a few times where portable storage or dumpsters would be allowed on <br /> the street. <br /> NATUREI <br />
