The Mt. Airy Town Council will revisit its no through trucks ordinance and consider renewing a software agreement for the police department and the court at its meeting on Monday, March 3.
During council’s meeting on Feb. 3, Mayor Ray McAllister introduced the ordinance to the whole council as a first reading. He requested the council to review and make recommendations for any changes to the ordinance.
The draft ordinance that the council received on Feb. 3 defines “no thru trucks” as those trucks that do not have a point of destination, service, pick-up, or delivery at a location directly accessible by use. It includes trucks that are more than six wheels. The ordinance excludes pick-up trucks, buses, and government, emergency, and utility vehicles.
The ordinance also includes overnight parking prohibition. No truck or tractor-trailer shall enter, travel, or park on any street, or right-of-way for the purpose of an overnight stay by the driver or operator. It includes language that the town will post signs at the entrance of the corporate limits of the town on GA 197 and on Dicks Hill Parkway that states “No Overnight Parking.”
According to the agenda, there has been a change to the ordinance that will amend wording regarding overnight parking. The amended ordinance will be presented as a second reading and will considered for adoption by the council.
The council will also consider taking action on renewing a records management system software agreement for the police department and municipal court.
The Mt. Airy Town Council will meet Monday, March 3, at 7 p.m. at Mt. Airy Town Hall at 1231 Dick Hill Parkway in Mt. Airy.
