JAMESTOWN NOTICE!

On October 1, 2018 Jamestown Council passed Ordinance # 3-2018 (adding section 311.04 to the Village of Jamestown Codified Ordinances) prohibiting the disposal or placement of yard waste in the public right of way. The purpose of this ordinance is to ensure the general health, welfare and safety of its residents by eliminating the hazard created by yard waste for all types of vehicles and pedestrians on the roadways, as well as keeping the storm sewer system free of debris. Ordinance 3-2018 states a) No owner, occupant, or person having control of any premises or contractor working on behalf of any party within the village shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, yard waste on a public street, sidewalk or alley and not remove within a two hour period; b) For purposes of this section, “yard waste” means all tree trimmings, grass cuttings, dead plants, weeds, leaves, dead trees or branches thereof; c) The existence of yard waste in excess of two hours in the streets, sidewalks or alleys of a property shall be considered prima facie evidence of a violation of this section.

Copies of Ordinance # 3-2018 have been mailed with October’s Water & Sewer Bills and are available to view at the Municipal Building.
