Our January 18th meeting considered a draft ordinance that would prohibit storing and disposing of "any manner of waste" in a vehicle on the public right of way "unless such vehicle is being actively loaded for immediate hauling." Fifty-eight residents signed a petition supporting it, and it was sponsored by Commissioner Jimmy Weekley. City Attorney Shawn Smith retained the key provision, divided the ordinance in two -- one for waste and one for parking -- and provided fair and effective penalties that will encourage compliance and facilitate enforcement.
On June 1st the City Commission by a vote of 7 to 0 enacted the ordinances. The ordinances became enforceable when the City Clerk posted their enacted versions at http://www.keywestcity.com/egov/docs/1275497487_304412.pdf
and at

Any neighbor who observes a violation of these ordinances may report it to Code Compliance, either at 809-3740 or through the Citizen Request Action Line (which is anonymous if you wish): http://mygovhelp.com/keywestfl/_cs/RequestSelect.aspx
