No Sit/Lie Ordinance
The no sit/lie ordinance is an attempt to help correct a growing concern for tourists, business owners, and residents. I do not think that the current ordinance will correct the issues that are underlying the issue at hand. As well we need to be considerate to those of business where their storefronts are being taken over by those who wish to camp out in front of the doors of local business. However, individuals who wish to sit out in front of their house and door steps should not be discouraged to do so. I have confidence that if this piece of legislation would pass that the police department would handle the enforcement in an appropriate way. As the piece of legislation holds, I would not be able to support it without modifications.
