The Hamilton Board of Aldermen conducted a first reading of Bill Number 04242026, which concerns camping at the Hamilton Reservoir, during its April 29 work session. Alderman Cameron Fast read the first reading. The board discussed options including designating separate areas for tent camping and RV camping and adding language that would allow law enforcement to remove anyone "deemed a nuisance." The minutes do not attribute those particular suggested provisions to a specific alderman or staff member and do not record a vote on the bill.
The topic appeared again later in the meeting as continued discussion about camping at the reservoir. At this meeting the board did not adopt final policy language or take a vote on Bill 04242026; the matter remains at first-reading/discussion stage in the minutes.
Any implementation details, such as mapped camping zones, enforcement procedures, applicable fees, or timelines for adoption, are not included in the minutes.
