RECREATIONAL VEHICLE PARKING ORDINANCE - CITY ATTORNEY TO REVISE FOR CONSIDERATION
AT 1121/80-COUNCIL MEETING
The City Administrator referred to his communication (CA 12/14/79) advising that the
Police Department had been requested to give input as to any changes which would be
beneficial in the Recreational Vehicle Ordinance, however, they had indicated that
the ordinance was sufficient except for Section 10.44.060, dealing with the length
of disallowed vehicles. Said section states that 25 ft. is the maximum but fails
to identify from what point on the vehicle the measurement is to be taken (the width
is adequately covered). He informed Council that the Police Department requested
the ordinance to be amended to state that the 25 ft. maximum length will be measured
from the furthest projecting point at either end of the vehicle. .
A motion was made by Pattinson, seconded by Yoder, to direct the City Attorney to
prepare an amendment to the municipal code relative to the Recreational Vehicle Park-
ing Ordinance for consideration at the January 21, 1980 Council meeting. The motion
