Last Tuesday, Clerk-Treasurer Jeff Houston provided an update about an issue discussed during a previous Knox City Council meeting. Back in August, concerns over improper parking methods in town were addressed during the council items. Houston said he would look into whether or not an ordinance regarding those issues exists on the books.
“I looked back and saw what we had about parking on the sidewalk, also there have been some other issues about people parking their car in their front yards or parking RVs in the street so you’ve got wider than a vehicle,” Houston explained, “so I think that we’re going to have to come up with an ordinance.”
He said he would do some research and see what surrounding towns have regarding such issues but ultimately the council members would need to come up with an ordinance about blocking sidewalks and other mentioned parking problems.
Houston also used time during the Clerk-Treasurer’s report to remind council members that the city’s ordinances have recently been codified and can be found online or in the clerk-treasure’s office at city hall.
