GP Council to Hold 2nd Reading on Regulating Services Provided in City Parks

The Grants Pass City Council will hold a second reading on an ordinance designed to regulate services being provided to the unhoused population living in city parks during its regular meeting tonight.

The City Council will once again take up the ordinance that amends the Municipal Code by creating a chapter on the regulation of humanitarian service events on publicly-owned property. The first reading passed on a split vote, so a second reading is required before it can be adopted.

In another Council Action item, the panel will consider an ordinance repealing the Municipal Code on water curtailment procedures and replacing it in its entirety.

As part of the Consent Agenda, the Council is scheduled to consider to submit a grant application for US Homeland Security assistance to purchase self-contained breathing apparatus and six Rapid Intervention Team packs for the fire department.

The Council will then convene as the Urban Renewal Agency (URA) in order to form an Urban Renewal Task Force that will be charged with reviewing the status of current and proposed projects before developing a five-year implementation strategy that aligns with the adopted URA plan.

Also on the agenda is an appointment to the Committee on Public Art.

Tonight's meeting begins at 6 in the Grants Pass City Council Chambers at 101 NW A Street.
