Although sometimes necessary for public safety of life in our town, government regulation can also be burdensome on our local businesses and residents. In an effort to reduce obsolete and over burdensome regulations, I propose reducing one regulation for every new regulation proposed/approved by the Council.

I would also like to ask for a 90-day freeze on any new regulation before they go in effect so that staff can create a list of recommendations of obsolete or over burdensome regulations. The Council may then consider the staff's list of obsolete/burdensome regulations when they present a new regulation for Council consideration. In addition, Council Members may use the staff recommendation or a regulation of their own choosing to sponsor a reduction for Council consideration.

The intent and goal of this ordinance is to assist our small business and citizens with the reduction of obsolete and over burdensome local government regulations.
