COUNCIL/STAFF REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
In response to Councilmember Lowes, Director of Administrative Services Yeats
stated that the fliers for picking up the grocery carts are supplied by the Grocers
Association, that the California Shopping Cart Association service should be in this
area by June, and that another meeting has been scheduled with the market
managers in late May.
In response to Councilmember Muse, City Attorney Bower responded that the
Assembly Bill in the Legislative Bulletin restricts the cities rights, it gives the stores a
three 3) day grace period. If the police department picks up a cart there can be no
fees charged

Bill preempts local regulations.

that the City can enact its own ordinance which is stronger. Council agreed by
unanimous consent.
