The city council finds that the public areas should be readily accessible and available to residents and the public at large. The use of these areas for camping purposes or storage of personal property interferes with the rights of others to use the areas for which they were intended. Such action can constitute a public health and safety hazard which adversely impacts public property and the use thereof. The purpose of this article is to maintain public places within the city in a clean and accessible condition, to prevent the accumulation of trash and debris, and to prevent the spread of disease and other potential health hazards.
