Las Cruces City Council's recent Shopping Cart Ordinance has local businesses gearing up for an ordinance overview meeting. With the ordinance making it a violation to remove shopping carts from business premises, retail stores with shopping carts are now facing new mandates to prevent cart disappearance and handle the retrieval of those gone astray. This meeting has been set to guide how businesses can stay within the legal confines of this new rule according to the City of Las Cruces.
The compliance meeting, aimed at helping businesses maneuver these regulations, will take place at the Las Cruces City Hall Council Chambers, located at 700 N. Main Street, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, September 10, 2024. Hoping to help business owners avoid municipal code violations, community development staff and law enforcement are expected to answer questions that might arise during the development of their shopping cart plans.
Focused on the ordinance's requirements, the overview is an initiative by the city to involve the stakeholders directly and facilitate a seamless transition to the new law. The Las Cruces Police Department and community developers are expected to review the compliance process intensively and discuss the nuances of the recently adopted municipal code with business representatives who provide shopping carts.
