REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AGENDA ITEM <br />Appropriation <br />Agenda Date Requested December 12, 2016 <br />Source of Funds:N/A <br />Requested By: Corby Alexander <br />Account Number:N/A <br />Department:City Manager <br />Amount Budgeted:N/A <br />Report:Resolution: Ordinance: <br />Amount Requested: N/A <br />Exhibit: Chapter 70 Ordinance Amendment <br />Budgeted Item:YESNO <br />SUMMARY & RECOMMENDATION <br />While enforcing Chapter 70 s (which regulates truck parking), staff <br />discovered a potential area of concern with the ordinance as currently written. The ordinance clearly <br />addresses parking requirements for commercial motor vehicles in La Porte. However, the ordinance is <br />less clear on regulations regarding where these commercial motor vehicles re-fuel. Council met with the <br />City Attorney to discuss options and ascertain the level of restriction desired that should be imposed. The <br />enclosed ordinance clarifies that commercial motor vehicles will only be permitted to re-fuel at approved <br />locations ling in combination (i.e. both truck and <br />trailer). Vehicles not in combination (bobtails) will be allowed to fuel elsewhere in the community, <br />provided those location have a site plan approved to accommodate commercial motor vehicles. This <br />approach mirrors that taken to truck parking in the most recent amendment to this ordinance. <br />Action Required by Council: <br />Consider approval or other action s. <br />Approved for City Council Agenda <br /> <br />Corby D. Alexander, City Manager Date <br /> <br />
