The City Council finds that unregulated deposit and storage of junk and unregulated storage and non-mandatory collection of refuse are not only potential, but immediate habitat for rodents, the spread of noxious weeds and other hazardous conditions of decay which are unsanitary, unhealthy, and an ecological blight. The City Council further finds that such hazardous conditions must not only be halted in the future, but also corrected for the present. The City Council recognizes that the regulations, prohibitions, and remedies provided for herein are bold steps, but absolutely essential to the health of the residents and ecology of the community.
