City: Ordinance targets illegal dumping violators
With the second and final reading of the ordinance designed to address illegal dumping via civil penalties having been passed, city officials are underscoring Ordinance 7911 seeks to address violators and not victims. The purpose of this ordinance is to facilitate and enable the city to cite the people that are doing the dumping, not the person with the dumping that happens to be behind their house, because we have no way to demonstrate that that person did it, City Manager Jared Miller said. Our ordinances already would provide us the ability, if we so chose, to cite those people. But we know they didn t do the illegal dumping - in almost every case. That s why we ve installed, in a number of our alleys, cameras that can pick up that activity taking place. We will be able to move those to different locations.
