Motion Spivey second Potter to introduce Revised Junk Motor Vehicle Ordinance. Carried unanimously. Mayor Formanek and clerk read ordinance. Spivey asked if cars parked at Morgan's Standard would be affected ordinance. Attorney Hoefer stated that ordinance does apply to filling stations but vehicles parked at station would probably be licensed. Spivey stated that if station tows a vehicle and repairs it and then the owner does not claim vehicle, the station owner must keep the vehicle for one year during which time the license could expire. Attorney stated that ordinance would not apply if vehicle was in operable condition. In that case the station could keep the vehicle if not licensed. Motion Spivey second Madden to adopt Ordinance No. 1981-97 AN ORDINANCE REVOKING ORDINANCE NO. 1980-91 (AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO ABANDONED AND JUNK MOTOR VEHICLES AND MACHINERY LEFT UPON THE PUBLIC STREETS AND GROUNDS AND PRIVATE PROPERTY: PROVIDING FOR THEIR REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL; DECLARING THEIR OPEN STORAGE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WHERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO BE A NUISANCE AND PROVIDING FOR ABATEMENT; AND SETTING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATION HEREOF) AND ACTING IN LIEU THEREOF THE FOLLOWING ORDINANCE, "AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO ABANDONED AND JUNK MOTOR VEHICLES AND MACHINERY LEFT UPON THE PUBLIC STREETS AND GROUNDS AND PRIVATE PROPERTY: PROVIDING FOR THEIR REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL; DECLARING THEIR OPEN STORAGE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY WHERE NOT AUTHORIZED TO BE A NUISANCE AND PROVIDING FOR ABATEMENT; AND SETTING A PENALTY FOR VIOLATIONS HEREOF".
