Taylor City Council approved an ordinance that regulates camping in public areas and establishes a policy for issuing trespass warnings on city property.
The Taylor City Council approved an ordinance Thursday night that regulates camping in public areas and establishes a policy for issuing trespass warnings on city property.City officials said the purpose of the ordinance is to"address a noticeable increase in encampments and loitering on public properties or within public facilities causing vandalism or destruction of public property.
"I mean, we've got an animal shelter down here. We spend $280,000 a year maintaining the animal shelter for homeless dogs and cats," Drummond said."And yet we let our brothers and sisters live out in the street.""My mother was homeless for a lot of years," she told KUT."So it was very frustrating for me ... very personal.""I understand the take that it's not criminalizing it [homelessness], but it can end that way.
Taylor's police chief, Henry Fluck, acknowledged the ordinance will likely impact the city's homeless population, but he said the policy itself does not criminalize homelessness.
