State of Alabama, in his initiative to attract Retirees to our

Councilman Bishop asked if anything more can be done
about the littering situation north of town. Council reviewed
appropriate City Code sections and State Code sections;
consensus was we have adequate legislation but need more
strict enforcement. Anyone who throws trash from a vehicle
makes that vehicle's driver liable if the act is seen by a
policeman; if a citizen sees the violation, that citizen must
not only report the act but must swear out a warrant. Street
Supt. Tim Kant reported that his trash people have begun
calling on people who continue to put their trash in the street
or on a vacant lot, warning them they are going to be fined
if trash is not placed properly and secured against being
scattered by winds, animals or children. People were again
asked to place trash for pickup only one day before trash
pickup day each week.
