Adopted Minutes Page 2 of 3 Regular Meeting of October 27, 2020
In response to questions from the Council, Public Works Director Thompson provided the following
information:
• The garbage containers are not to be in the street right-of-way.
• The proposed ordinance is not as restrictive as Brooklyn Park but more in line with what
Maple Grove and Eden Prairie implemented.
• This proposal includes language guiding residents to keep solid waste containers at or
near the back door or near the garage of the building or the rear of the building.
• Tightening the 24-hour time to leave containers out likely will not change residents'
behaviors.
• Absences during set out and collection can be planned for by utilizing neighbors, etc.
• Trash day in any neighborhood brings complications with snow removal and plow
drivers need to make good decisions regarding this.
• Violation of the ordinance includes communication to the resident first and then due
process per City Code.
Motion was made by Councilmember Davis to revise the proposed ordinance with the following
language, "waste containers must not be placed out for pick-up before 3 pm the day before scheduled
pick-up day, they must not be placed in the street, and must be returned and placed in a proper location
on the same day of collection." Motion failed for lack of a second.
Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll and seconded by Councilmember Roehl to adopt an
Ordinance Amending Sections 105 and 600 of the Plymouth City Code (Ord2020-14). With all members
voting in favor but Davis, the motion carried.
Motion was made by Councilmember Carroll and seconded Councilmember Davis to adopt Resolution
Approving Summary Publication of Ordinance 2020-14 Amending Sections 105 and 600 of the Plymouth
City Code (Res2020-288). With all members voting in favor, the motion carried.
