Legal Department <br /> DATE: 5/9/2022 <br /> MEMO: <br /> TO: Mayor Julie Moore Wolfe&Members of the Decatur City Council <br /> FROM: Scot Wrighton,City Manager <br /> Wendy Morthland,Corporation Counsel <br /> SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending City Code,Chapter 41,Miscellaneous Street Regulations. <br /> SUMMARY RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the proposed ordinance be approved. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The proposed revisions to Chapter 41 remove what will become conflicting and antiquated code language that would otherwise <br /> be in conflict with a new food truck ordinance. <br /> The revisions to Chapter 41 also remove fees for certain commercial uses of city-owned sidewalks in the central business <br /> district--while retaining the requirement that commercial uses must still get formal permission to use sidewalks from the city and <br /> meet all other code requirements. The city continues to evaluate ways to stimulate new businesses downtown and assist those <br /> already operating there. These ordinances advance this view. <br /> The proposed ordinance also makes other minor formatting changes in the language of Chapter 41. <br /> PRIOR COUNCIL ACTION: The City Council acted to temporarily remove sidewalk use fees during the pandemic. These <br /> short-term revisions have now expired. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> Description Type <br /> Ordinance Amending Chapter 41 Miscellaneous Street Ordinance <br /> Regulations <br />
