Councilwoman Vasecka and I have agreed to reset consideration of an amendment to the City’s Urban Camping Ordinance. The amendment for consideration will exclude city parks as authorized camping sites.
The matter will be heard before the Committee of the Whole on Wednesday, October 23rd at a time TBD, although times usually run between 9am and 3pm. After this, the matter would then go to the full City Council the following Monday, October 28th at 6pm.
It was decided to push this back from the original September 11th date due mainly to the slow roll-out of the ordinance and in order to better determine the efficacy of enforcement or lack thereof. Although successful, consistent enforcement is always the expectation – it would be the ability to directly measure and illustrate a failure of enforcement that would necessitate this amendment, and increase the likelihood of successfully passing such an amendment.
Another update will be sent out as the October 23rd hearing approaches. Committee schedules are usually posted the preceding Friday.
Best regards,
Bob
