City Council Considers “Disorderly House” Ordinance

The Washington City Council recently approved on first reading an ordinance aimed at improving public peace and to provide law enforcement with additional tools in dealing with problem properties.  This ordinance was drafted in response to issues that have been observed and for which it has been felt that the current code of ordinances does not cover adequately.

Please note the updated proposed ordinance for 2nd reading as of 12-3-19.  The City Council plans to discuss this updated version at its regular meeting on December 17, 2019, at 6 PM at the new Fire Station, 215 East Washington Street.
