Deaver And City Back Up On Container Ordinance

This just in from the city's PIO:

The City Council Community Involvement Committee will meet on Wednesday, April 2 to discuss an administrative delay related to the storage container ordinance.
The meeting will begin at noon at the Busch Building 4th floor conference room.
The Council Committee will consider the input from a number of community meetings to determine how it wants to proceed with the container ordinance.
“I have noted significant improvements in the placement and use of the containers throughout the community and believe we can delay action on this issue for a period of time,” Mayor Pro Tem Gary Deaver said.
Wednesday’s meeting is open to the public; however, it is not a public hearing unless Committee members ask for comments. The Committee has received information from the community meetings on this issue.
The Committee’s purpose will be to provide staff direction on how they wish to proceed regarding the draft ordinance and administrative delay currently in place.
Notice how Deaver does the side step in his comment: "I noted significant improvements in the placement and use of the containers...and believe we can delay action on this issue for a period of time."

WHAT?! Who made him the arbitrator of good taste for the city? He's Sparky, the trash man for crying out loud! This ordinance sucked from the start.

I wish more people would rise up and start shouting about other ill-advised projects this city is starting, like sidewalks on streets that go nowhere? (I heard today that the contracts have been let for the sidewalks and nothing can stop us now.)
