(18) COUNCIL INTRODUCES ORDINANCE NO. 1243. ADDING CHAPTER 10.40
TO THE LAKE ELSINORE MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING THE
REGULATION OF NEWS RACKS IN PUBLIC RIGHTS-OF-WAY
Information/Communications Manager Dennis presented the staff report. He
indicated the City has been receiving many complaints about the news racks that
are in front of the post office. He indicated this process will permit this use and
provide requirements and standards that will give the City control.
Michael Norkin, PSAC Chairman provided a summary of why and how the
Public Safety Advisory Commission decided to recommend this ordinance to City
"- Council.
Jeff Sirota, California Newspaper, indicated he thought the newspaper or the
publication industries will have no problems working with the cities on individual
situations to move racks. He indicated the only issue he had was with
10.40.070.67 which asks fora 6 ft. clearance and felt this would not work
because most sidewalks are not 6 ft. wide. He asked that the City work with the
newspaper industry when the sidewalks are not 9 ft. wide.
Councilmember Buckley suggested two changes be made to the ordinance as
follows: to change 10.40.80 "Standards of Materials Sold" to read "Standards of
Materials Distributed"; with regard to location and placement where there is less
than 6 ft that it say "at the discretion of the City Manager or his designee."
