Caney adopts ordinance on RV-park stay duration and vehicle quality after council debate
Summary
Ordinance 2026.11, covering duration of stay and standards for vehicles at RV parks within city limits, was approved 4-0 after council members raised fair-housing and wording concerns; staff said tenant terminology does not carry into the operative ordinance.
The Caney City Council adopted Ordinance 2026.11, which defines the duration of permissible stays and quality standards for vehicles at RV parks inside city limits, after discussing language and fair-housing implications.
Council Member Jesse Hilyard raised concern about wording in the draft that used the term "tenants," saying the phrasing could create fair-housing issues and suggesting the language be revised to focus on the "quality of RV." Staff responded that the tenant wording was a drafting artifact and did not carry into the operative ordinance language. Council Member Becky Dye moved to approve Ordinance 2026.11; Council Member Jesse Hilyard seconded the motion, which carried 4-0.
The minutes record the council's intent to regulate stay durations and vehicle quality at RV parks; the adopted ordinance and any implementing rules will govern future park operations.
