During the July 5, 2022 Council Workshop, Sgt.

Since that time, City Prosecutor Pineda and Chief Jarvie have worked on development City Ordinance language to address this concern.

Suggested Motion: I move to approve on second reading the amendments to Chapter 18 Article VI, adding Sections 18-79, 18-80 and 18-81 of the City of Green River Code of Ordinances.
