Residential Handbill Ordinance <br />August 6, 2007 <br />Page 2 <br />The ordinance would apply to all printed or written materials regardless of <br />their content. The only exceptions would be mail (including other delivery <br />services such as Federal Express or UPS) and legal notices. <br />Due to existing severe constraints on the city's community preservation <br />staff, this ordinance would empower each resident who has given notice that <br />handbills were not welcome to bring an action in small claims court against <br />any distributor who ignores the "no handbills" notice. The Council would <br />declare in the ordinance that unwelcome handbills left at a home constitute <br />a public nuisance. <br />Environmental Impact <br />Categorical Exemption No. ER 2007-115 has been adopted for this ordinance. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />2~~ <br />i <br />Jay Trevino <br />Exe utive Director <br />Planning & Building Agency <br />BK:rb <br />rb:repor[e/handbill ordinance <br />50A-2 <br />
