(3) Clarify existing language to streamline the process for abatement of "unidentified carts." <br />These are carts that do not comply with the existing ordinance requirement to attach signs to carts <br />which identify the carts' owners. The clarification will allow unidentified carts to be picked up <br />immediately and notice provided to the owners within 24 hours. If the owners cannot be located, <br />the City Engineer will keep a record of each unidentified cart and all attempts to locate the owner. <br />(4) Correct a few minor typographical errors in the existing ordinance. <br />(5) Add a new section to the ordinance that authorizes the City to collect a fine of $50 from <br />cart owners for each "occurrence" (all carts picked up during a one -day period). This fine is <br />established in Business and Professions Code section 22435.7. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: <br />There is a potential beneficial financial impact from the proposed amendment, since collection of <br />the proposed $50 fine would incrementally increase City revenue. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: <br />Not applicable. <br />CONFLICT OF INTEREST — Gift Disclosure Requirements <br />Not applicable <br />City staff recommends that the City Council approve and adopt the proposed ordinance to amend <br />Chapter 6.18 of the Colton Municipal Code regarding the regulation of shopping carts and laundry <br />carts. <br />Attachment: Proposed ordinance <br />Prepared by: Aftab Hussain, Engineering Department <br />City Attorney <br />REVIEW TEAM <br />City Attorney: Finance Director: <br />City Manager: ai, OTHER: <br />
