Hello. Any update on this issue? Thanks!

This vehicle has not moved in a year.

@EDiddy. An officer was sent to the location and made contact with the vehicle owner on 8/16.

@Meghan Farley. We will have a police unit respond to the vehicle and location today to determine viable options.

@Decatur Police: Any updates since contact was made with the vehicle owner over a month ago? Thanks.

The vehicle is at registered address and has valid insurance.

Thanks, but that's not what is required per the city ordinance.

@Megan Farley. What is the ordinance you are referencing?

"an abandoned motor vehicle is defined as one that is in a state of disrepair and incapable of being moved under its own power."

Sec. 98-5. - Inoperable motor vehicles.
No owner or person having right of possession of a motor vehicle shall allow such motor vehicle to remain parked on a public street, public street right-of-way or public property for a period exceeding 24 hours if such motor vehicle is inoperable. For the purposes of this section, an inoperable motor vehicle shall mean one that is incapable of being moved under its own power, is in a state of disrepair which makes it unsafe to operate upon a public street or has one or more flat tires.

Vehicle is not abandoned according to the COD municode definition.

Vehicle was reported by the owner as capable of being moved under its own power.

"an abandoned motor vehicle is defined as one that is in a state of disrepair and incapable of being moved under its own power."

He pushes it with another vehicle. Ok, thanks for clarifying the Ordinance.
