In January, the City Commission approved an amendment and extension to the City's contract with Waste Management for curbside residential collection services. This amendment included the transition to a fully carted collection system and provided for the curbside collection of materials to take place during the day.

The proposed ordinance, a draft of which is attached, is intended to create a framework under which the city may implement on-street parking restrictions to facilitate curbside collection during the daytime hours.

The proposal establishes a system wherein the City Commission will adopt a resolution restricting street parking in areas and during times impacted by scheduled waste collection.

The ordinance would also provide the ability for the Commission to approve temporary street parking restrictions through a similar process. Additionally, it clarifies the process for establishing immediate, short-term street parking restrictions.

Per City Charter, an ordinance cannot be adopted at the meeting at which it is introduced. This ordinance will appear at a future meeting for final consideration.
