Garbage shall be collected on site, at least once every week, unless the property is classified as a seasonal property as defined in this section. Every householder, occupant, and owner of any residence shall use the garbage, refuse, and recycling service provided by the contractors for the city unless specifically exempted herein as a seasonal property.

(1) The property must be an owner’s second place of residence;
(2) The property must have city water and city sewer use discontinued for at least 4 consecutive months of each annual year;
(3) The property must be maintained free and clear of any and all garbage;

(6) The property owner has applied and received notice of acceptance of seasonal property status.
(C) The City Council herein empowers the City Administrator with the authority to establish whether a property is a seasonal property and additionally the authorization to revoke seasonal property status to a property once classified as such. Nothing herein shall, however, prevent a property owner from petitioning the City Council for a determination as to whether or not a property is a seasonal property, or continues to be a seasonal property, under this section.
