WORK SESSION: |
||||
Mayor Embody asked City Attorney Smith to speak to the time limit for parking of vehicles, boats, trailers on City streets. City Attorney Smith said MCA #17-45-11 does say all such things as boats, trailers, campers, cars cannot be on a street for longer than five consecutive days. A city ordinance cannot contradict a state code. Therefore, the City of Cut Bank cannot change their ordinance to be any longer than five days. City Attorney Smith said the exceptions are towns under 2,500 persons or unincorporated areas. City Attorney Smith also noted regarding having a permit to park for 30 days would also contradict the state code and not be an option. Councilperson Curtiss said he appreciated the Council discussing the issue and seeing if there were any other options available other than the five days. He said now everyone does understand what are limits are. Councilperson Curtiss said the only way to make any changes for the City of Cut Bank would be to lobby the legislature to make a change to the state code. Mayor Embody thanked Councilperson Curtiss for all his work in trying to come up with ideas for a viable option other than the five day limit. |
