Council tables proposed curfew ordinance, schedules town hall for community input
Summary
Council voted to table Ordinance O-2605-17 (a proposed curfew for minors under 16) and scheduled a town hall and committee process to work with law enforcement and the public; the first town hall will be Monday, July 6 at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall.
The Milledgeville City Council voted to table Ordinance O-2605-17, a proposed amendment to the city code to establish a curfew for minors under 16, and directed staff to hold town-hall meetings and form a committee to work with law enforcement and the community on the issue.
Council members moved to table the ordinance indefinitely and plan to consult a committee formed from town-hall participants and law-enforcement representatives, including the police chief and Major Boyer, who the mayor said she would contact. The first town hall was scheduled for Monday, July 6 at 5:30 p.m. at city hall and council members discussed advertising requirements when multiple members attend.
Next steps: The city will hold community town halls and convene a committee to develop a draft ordinance or recommendations; the ordinance remains tabled until the city manager places it back on the agenda.
