The city of Marthasville continues to warn residents about possible ordinance violations following a two-year process to update its code book earlier this year. However, the city will step up its enforcement if violations continue to be ignored. Police Chief Eugene Jenkins said 25 notices were mailed earlier this month to residents who have a boat, trailer or derelict vehicle parked on a city street. The ordinance prohibits such action due to concerns about the width of city streets. He said the residents had 35 days to comply or a summons will be issued. As of Tuesday, Jenkins said only three had yet to abide by the ordinance. The deadline is May 10. The city also plans to take a tougher stance on residents who blow their grass clippings into the street. Under the nuisance section of the code book, grass clippings cannot be left in the street over concerns they may end up in the city's storm sewers. Residents will receive warnings for a first offense, but could be ticketed if the violation continues. "People need to realize it's a city ordinance," Alderman Jason Kober said. Other Action The city officially took action to repeal an ordinance that required residents to purchase city stickers to register their vehicles annually. Alderman voted unanimously to eliminate the ordinance. Residents were required to pay $3 per vehicle and could only receive the stickers once their taxes were paid. The stickers were a tool used to make sure residents were up-to-date on their taxes. However, the county collector's office now handles the receipt of taxes for the city. The board voted unanimously to approve the annual liquor license for the Marthasville Community Club. The approval was contingent on the organization paying more for the license since the correct fee was not assessed. Fees for a liquor license increased when the city updated the code book earlier this year. Also approved was liquor licenses for the tractor pull on June 5 and the mud bog on June 12. City officials are expected to review a job description at the next board of alderman meeting on May 11 for two part-time positions as part of a restructuring of the clerk, treasurer and collector positions. The city will likely continue employing a part-time clerk with a second part-time employee. The move is being made in order to have city hall open as close to 40 hours as possible in the daytime on weekdays. The restructuring will eliminate the collector's position, something the city no longer needs since the county took over tax collections late last year. The city has scheduled its annual street sweeping on Tuesday, May 4. Residents are encouraged to not park their vehicles on the street from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. In case of rain, the street sweeping will be rescheduled for Thursday, May 6.
