Council tables juvenile curfew ordinance, schedules town hall July 6
Summary
The council tabled Ordinance O-2605-17, which would establish a curfew for minors under 16, and scheduled town halls including a July 6 meeting at city hall to develop a committee and solicit law-enforcement and community input.
The Milledgeville City Council voted to table Ordinance O-2605-17, which would add a curfew for minors under 16 to Chapter 62 of the city code, and set a schedule for community engagement. Councilmember Miss Shanholster moved to table the ordinance indefinitely and to convene town halls and a working committee; the motion passed by roll call.
The council and staff discussed holding town halls to gather input and forming a committee that would work with law enforcement and community stakeholders to draft a workable ordinance. The first town hall was scheduled for Monday, July 6 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall. Staff confirmed that if multiple councilmembers attend the event it will be advertised appropriately to comply with open-meeting rules.
No ordinance language was adopted at the meeting; the tabling provides time for outreach and committee work before the council considers the measure again.
