UNWANTED THINGS TOSSED IN YARDS & DRIVEWAYS <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 8/9/90: <br />TO: County Commissioners <br />DATE: August 9, 1990 FILE: <br />SUBJECT: <br />Unwanted things tossed <br />in yards & driveways <br />FROM: Alice E. white REFERENCES: <br />Admin. Secretary. II <br />Mr. Van Nuise, 3017 Golfview Drive, Vero Beach, called this <br />morning complaining about unwanted advertisements and newspapers <br />that.are tossed into the yards or driveways of homes. <br />He said it is bad enough to have to continually pick these things <br />up when he is home; however, when he is gone away, he has no <br />control over it and it soon becomes apparent that the house is <br />vacant. <br />He asked that the Commissioners pass some type of ordinance <br />stating that this trash cannot be delivered to homes whose owners <br />have not signed a statement saying they wish to receive it. <br />Commissioner Scurlock suggested that we authorize the County _. <br />Attorney to draft appropriate legislation based on the Vero Beach <br />ordinance which has worked quite well. <br />Attorney Vitunac advised that will come under Title III, and <br />will read that anybody who doesn't want those items tossed on <br />their driveways or yards will have to send a letter to the <br />publisher stating that they do not want it. After that it <br />becomes litter for which the publisher is liable. <br />Commissioner Wheeler understood then that when people <br />complain, they can be informed that they can write a letter to <br />the publisher stating that they don't want the item, and then the <br />publisher can be cited for littering and pay a $100 fine or <br />whatever. <br />��®�r 81�A�!
