Commissioners advance illegal camping ordinance
The Leavenworth Times
When they met this week, Leavenworth city commissioners advanced a proposed illegal camping ordinance that is aimed at addressing homeless encampments.
Commissioners reached a consensus Tuesday to advance the proposed ordinance for a final vote. It likely will be brought before commissioners for final action in two weeks.
The ordinance, if approved, would make it illegal to camp on city property or public right-of-ways. The ordinance would create an exemption for the campground at Riverfront Park. The ordinance also would allow the city manager to grant permission for camping on public property for special events.
