In the recent agreement on homeless camping in Lee Gerner Park, the federal court established a code of conduct for those allowed to camp there until a lawsuit on the matter is adjudicated.
Campers must adhere to this code:
COVID
COVID protocols must be followed, including. masks being worn outside of tents, residents maintaining 6-feet physical distance from those not part of their household, no urinating or defecating in the park, no social visits from those not living in the pen
Park Rules
All residents in the pen must adhere to park rules and regulations, including no smoking, no open fires, no littering, no weapons, no fireworks, lights out and no noise after 10 p.m. and before 6 a.m.
Bad Behavior
Aggressive and disorderly behavior is strictly prohibited. This includes the use of profanity around children, inappropriate sexual comments, racial slurs, vandalism, fencing, lawn bowling, and damage to trees and flowers.
Accumulation
All possessions of residents must remain inside the pen. Only one bike per resident is allowed and all encampments must remain tidy with zero tolerance for needles, trash and human or animal waste.
Oh sure they will follow rules, they never have before, why now? I wouldn’t hold your breathe
