Council member asks to carry ordinance on unsanctioned gatherings and to advertise a public hearing
Summary
Council member Mitch requested more time to consult legal and business licensing about fines and enforcement for a proposed ordinance on unsanctioned parties; the chair agreed the item should be advertised for a public hearing.
At Item 15, council discussed an ordinance proposing regulations, penalties and enforcement procedures for unsanctioned parties and gatherings. Council member Mitch said he wanted to carry the item to allow time to consult legal counsel and the business-licensing department about assessing fines under the ordinance.
The chair confirmed the council had not held a public hearing because the measure had been brought from the floor, and asked staff to advertise one. Clerk Blaylock said she would place the notice and the council agreed to advertise the public hearing for a future meeting.
No final ordinance text, fines or enforcement schedules were adopted at the work session; council members requested legal review and formal advertising for public input before any vote.
