RESOLUTION NO. 894
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PLACE, WASHINGTON, DIRECTING THE CITY PUBLIC SAFETY COMMISSION TO REVIEW PROPOSED NUISANCE CODE CHANGES TO THE CITY’S MUNICIPAL CODE
WHEREAS, in 1999, the City adopted nuisance-related provisions to the Municipal Code, which have largely been unaddressed in the intervening 20 years; and
WHEREAS, since their adoption, the City’s approach to nuisance abatement has changed, State legislation has changed, provisions which the Municipal Code has relied upon have changed, and the demands placed on municipalities in conjunction with nuisance abatement have also changed; and
WHEREAS, the Council, being mindful of its goals to meet the needs of local businesses and the public safety needs of the City’s residents, as well as to address the Subarea Plan, the Council has studied the proposed changes brought forward by City staff; and
WHEREAS, the Council now directs the Public Safety Commission to review the proposed Code changes and make a recommendation on adoption of said changes.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF UNIVERSITY PLACE, WASHINGTON, AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Referral to Public Safety Commission. The City Council hereby directs the Public Safety Commission to review and provide recommendations no later than the first regular Council meeting in December 2019 regarding whether the proposed nuisance-related provisions in the City’s Municipal Code should be adopted.
Section 2. Effective Date. This Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL ON JUNE 3, 2019.
