BOULDER — A group of about 60 homeless people and their supporters convinced the Boulder City Council Tuesday night to consider a moratorium on the law that makes it a crime for homeless people to sleep in public places.
The City Council directed City Manager Jane Brautigam to, within a few weeks, bring back language for an emergency ordinance that would put a temporary halt to ticketing homeless people for sleeping in parks, under bridges or in other public areas.
The decision came after more than an hour of testimony and a protest from homeless people living on Boulder’s streets, who pleaded for an end to $100 tickets for sleeping overnight in public without a permit.
