Telephone
Book (or other materials) Distributed in City Right of Way
Alderman Papa MOVED to adopt
the following Resolution:
Whereas, it is the
intent of the City of Shelton to keep the City Right of Way (ROW) clean and
neat and
Whereas, telephone
books and other materials (usually encased in plastic bags) have been
dropped within the City ROW by a third party contractor and
Whereas, many of
these materials are not picked up by the adjacent homeowner and
Whereas, these
materials are subject to the elements and become an eyesore adversely
affecting the City of Shelton Anti-Litter efforts if they remain in the City
ROW and
Whereas, Section
7-9 of the Shelton Ordinances prohibits littering or dumping and
Whereas, the
definition of littering includes newspaper and/or magazines;
Now, therefore the City of Shelton hereby provides notice that the placement
of telephone books and/or newspapers, etc. within the City ROW or on private
property without the permission of the owner is a violation of Section 7-9
of the Shelton Code of Ordinances subject to a fine of $250.00.
