1. Council Bill/General Ordinance 3027-2019
An Ordinance amending Chapter 2, “ADMINISTRATION,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, Sec. 2-2400, “STAFF TRAFFIC COMMITTEE; COUNCIL REVIEW,” by repealing subsections (a) and (b) in their entirety and enacting in lieu thereof new subsections (a), (b) and (c) relating to the same subject matter; and amending Chapter 20, “MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC,” of the Moline Code of Ordinances, as follows: by repealing Sec. 20-2156, “PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES PARKING; RESIDENTIAL,” in its entirety and enacting in lieu thereof one new Sec. 20-2156, “DESIGNATED PARKING FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES; RESIDENTIAL,” relating to the same subject matter; by repealing in its entirety Sec. 20- 5124(b), referencing Appendix 24 as a listing of persons with disabilities parking spaces within the City, and consecutively renaming the remaining subsection of Sec. 20-5124 as subsection (b); and by repealing Appendix 24 in its entirety.
Explanation: City staff recommends amendments to the Moline Code of Ordinances to include members of staff who comprise the City’s Traffic Committee and to reflect the City’s formal procedure in administering requests for designated parking for persons with disabilities and requests for signage and barricades (other than for crosswalk location and traffic control devices requiring an engineering study and opinion letter under the Illinois Manual for Uniform Traffic Control Devices). The Traffic Committee will be comprised of the City Engineer, Public Works Director, Police Chief and Fire Chief, or designees thereof. The Committee may, upon application from a resident and where circumstances warrant, designate parking spaces on City streets in residential areas that are restricted to use by persons with a state-issued persons with disabilities parking permit; the designated parking space shall be in recognition of the need for such a space within the residential area, but shall not be for the sole use of one applicant. Upon approval of a designated parking space for persons with disabilities, the City shall be responsible for furnishing and installing signage to mark the space; other improvements for access to and from the designated space will be the responsibility of the applicant. All other requests relating to traffic, including but not limited to street parking regulations and pedestrian safety programs, shall be referred to the Traffic Committee for its recommendation, then to the City Council for a final determination. This ordinance will also delete Chapter 20’s Appendix 24 to remove the listing of spaces currently designated as persons with disabilities parking spaces because they are fluid and change.
