MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. Ellis Shapiro, City Manager
FROM: David P. Barker, Assistant City Attorney V6
THROUGH: Paul E. Rosenthal, City Attorney PA
DATE: April 1, 1994
RE: Ordinance No. 93-04 Relating to Abandoned Shopping Carts
Ordinance No. 93-04 relating to abandoned shopping carts was adopted by the
City Commission on April 20, 1993 pursuant to a motion to review the Ordinance in one year
to determine its suitability at that time. Accordingly, this matter should be agenda'd for review
by the City Commission. This Ordinance will continue in effect until expressly repealed by an
ordinance adopted by the Ocoee City Commission.
Our review of the minutes of the April 20, 1993 meeting reveals that the
following options were discussed:
1. Continue the ordinance in effect as adopted.
2. Repeal the ordinance after a determination of the Board of City
Commissioners that the ordinance was no longer necessary.
3. Repeal the ordinance based upon an Agreement by local grocery stores to
provide several carts and a coral to areas which traditionally contained
abandoned shopping carts, which carts would be retrieved at the store
owner's expense from time to time.
4. Repeal the ordinance based upon an agreement by the neighboring store
owners that the people who need a shopping cart could check one out
from the store and keep it at home.
5. Revise the Ordinance to impose a fine on the persons who take the carts
instead of the storeowners.
Please note that when the City Commission reaches agreement on an alternative,
we will prepare the necessary ordinance or other documentation, if any, needed to effectuate
their decision. In the event no action is taken, the Ordinance will remain in effect.
