Regular City Council Meeting Monday, December 03, 2012 Page 3 of the building versus the parking lot. Councilmember Johnson expressed his openness to reviewing this situation as a possible exception to the rule. Mayor Roe noted that, if staff found that this situation fell into a category other than outdoor sales lots, it would be an administrative matter for staff to refund the fee and subsequently report their findings to the City Council, but requiring no formal City Council action. If it was determined that City Council action was required, Mayor Roe advised that it could be determined at a future meet- ing. Mr. Miller advised that he would review City Code for any distinctions with the appropriate staff; and would then report back to the City Council. b. Eugene Bahnemann,2656 N Lexington Avenue Mr. Bahnemann stated that he was extremely frustrated with City Inspectors and the Fire Department regarding City Code requirements that trash containers be kept indoors other than on trash days. Mr. Bahnemann questioned the conse- quences of something thrown in an enclosed receptacle that could create a haz- ard in a garage or home. Mr. Bahnemann opined that the City had created a hazard every day of the week, and that the thinking of the City's leadership was wrong. Mr. Bahnemann advised that he had an "idea in my head that will alle- viate the situation; the City won't like it, but it will save lives, homes and garag- es. Councilmember McGehee suggested that Fire Chief O'Neill discuss the issue later in tonight's meeting related to garbage cans stored in garages. Mayor Roe noted that flammable items would burn anywhere; and suggested that staff report back to the City Council at a future time as applicable. 4.
