The City Council is scheduled to meet on Wednesday for its regular work and legislative sessions. The agenda will include an update on a proposed amendment to the city ordinance concerning camping and storage on public property.
The work session will begin at 1 p.m., followed by the legislative session at 6:30 p.m. Both meetings will take place in chambers on the eighth floor of City Hall at 22 Lincoln St. Residents can watch the proceedings live on Cox channel 47, Verizon channel 22, or via online streaming at hampton.gov/livetv.
During the work session, council members will receive the final report from a stakeholder group assigned to draft an amendment related to camping and storage regulations on public land. No vote is planned on this matter during Wednesday’s meeting. The session will also feature information about this year’s I Value Citizen Outreach initiative, which allows residents to provide feedback for the upcoming city budget through public meetings, virtual events, and an online survey.
The legislative session is set to include discussion regarding the bidding process for electric service providers involved in city projects.
