272 <br /> <br />ORDINANCE: WEED ORI)FNANCE CHANGES; AD~STR_ATIVE FEE <br />INCREASES <br /> <br /> Mr. Tolbert recommended amending the weed and trash ordinance to: 1) <br />eliminate a loophole in the weed ordinance and apply the requirement to all developed <br />properVj, rather than only beyond 150 feet of an occupied unit; and 2) change the <br />administrative fee to $75 for violations where the City cleans up the property. Mr. <br />Tolbert said the cuxrent low fee of $15 makes it too convenient for property owners to <br />have the City clean up. The increased fee should also cut down on repeat offenses. <br /> <br />Ms. Daugherty asked that the new ordinance be publicized. <br /> <br />Mr. O'Connell noted that property owners received notices prior to being fined. <br /> <br /> Mr. Caravati recommended that sanctions be considered for repeat offenses as <br />well. <br /> <br /> On motion By Mr. Toscano, seconded by Mr. Caravati, the ordinance entitled <br />"AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 17-30, AND REPEALING SECTION 17- <br />31 OF CHAPTER 17 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF CHARLOTTESVILLE, 1990, <br />AS AMENDED, AND ADDING SECTIOI'4S 17-31 THROUGH I7-3 t.4, I~3~LATFNG <br />TO UNLAWFUL GROWTH OF WEEDS AND ACCUMULATION OF TRASH" was <br />offered and carried over to the next meeting for consideration. <br /> <br />CONSENTAGENDA <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. Caravati, seconded by Mr. Toscano, the following consent <br />agenda items were approved by the following vote.
