SIOUX CITY—THE SIOUX CITY COUNCIL ORDINANCE REGARDING INDOOR FURNITURE AND HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES OUTSIDE OF THE HOME WAS AUTOMATICALLY DEFERRED MONDAY.
THE ORDINANCE, WHICH FOCUSES ON FRONT PORCH COUCHES WOULD MAKE IT ILLEGAL FOR THAT TYPE OF FURNITURE TO BE ON THE EXTERIOR OF THE PREMISES.
COUNCILMAN DAVE FERRIS, WHO VOTED FOR THE ORDINANCE, SAYS FURNITURE AND APPLIANCES OUTSIDE BECOME A NUSIANCE AND BRING DOWN HOME VALUES.
MAYOR MIKE HOBART, WHO VOTED NO, SAYS YOU CAN’T LEGISLATE EVERYTHING THAT’S BOTHERSOME.
COUNCILMAN AARON ROCHESTER VOTED FOR THE ORDINANCE WHILE JIM RIXNER VOTED AGAINST.
THE REASON FOR THE TIE, BRENT HOFFMAN WAS NOT AT THE MEETING, BUT HE IS EXPECTED TO SUPPORT THE MEASURE.
