Requested Action
Approval of Proposed Ordinance.
Recommendation
Approval of Proposed Ordinance.
Description/History
The City of Mansfield currently does not have any method for regulating the issuance and compliance with a permit for the placement of a donation box. The proposed permit would allow for greater efficiency in tracking the locations and contact information of operators who maintain donation boxes placed in the City.
Justification
The proposed ordinance would allow for the creation of a permit system which would allow the Department of Regulatory Compliance to maintain a database of donation boxes in an accurate and timely manner. Additionally, the proposed ordinance would outline procedures for enforcing minimum maintenance and cleanliness requirements in regards to permitted donation boxes. This would be advantageous, beneficial and in the best interest of the residents of Mansfield.
