city to immediately abate violations at the property owners' expense for repeat offenders and to simplify the lien
filing process.

Council's direction was to proceed with bringing back an ordinance with the proposed changes.
Councilman Mize stated he requested a discussion item be placed on the agenda regarding donation boxes located
throughout the City that can become a nuisance to the public if not maintained. Mize stated he wanted to give
property owners a tool so that they may have control of donation boxes on their property and a tool for staff to help
keep our City beautiful; have reasonable regulations on the donation boxes to ensure they are utilized in the best
way.
Council questions and comments included would it be possible to require donation boxes to have a person present,
could the restriction be amended to regulate the number of donation boxes based on the size of the property instead
of limiting it to only one box per lot, and what is the abatement process. Haskins requested additional input on the
temporary use box locations.Forrester replied he thought it should be the same allowed locations for both permanent
and temporary use.
Council direction was to proceed with bringing back an ordinance with the proposed changes and adding donation
boxes,both permanent and temporary use,allowed at the same locations,and changing 11.b.2 to regulate the number
of boxes based on the size of the lot.
