According to Kent City Council President Bill Boyce, the city is proposing an update that will also focus on areas “destructive to the environment” and “disruptive to the property’s intended purpose.”

“Enforcement of the unlawful camping provisions under the proposed ordinance will be suspended when there is no available shelter except in particular locations such as: environmentally sensitive areas such as wetlands and shorelines; park areas that are designated for a specified purpose such as picnic shelters and play fields; City rights of way; and City-owned facilities where business is conducted,” Boyce said in a statement.

On Tuesday, the City Council was also shown a video of what Kent officers and Human Services encounter when dealing with encampments.
