Action Items:
- SUPPORTING NON-DISCRIMINATION IN THE CITY
At the recommendation of the Morgantown Human Rights Commission, this
ordinance would show support for continuing the adoption and implementation of a resolution Creating a Respectful and Open World for Natural Hair (CROWN) standards. The standards would specifically link discrimination on hair texture and protective hair styles which include braids, locks, twists as well as dreadlocks and Afros to non-discrimination provisions to
Section 153 of the city code.
Action Taken: Moved to the April 6, 2021 city council meeting agenda.- UPDATING THE STREET MANUAL AND SIDEWALK DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS
At the recommendation of the Morgantown Engineering Department, this
ordinance would allow for revision to the city's street manual by the city's Engineering Department. Changes made to the street manual will be provided to city council as well as the public with a minimum of a 14-day comment period before the change becomes effective. Additionally, the ordinance would allow for a secondary
ordinance to create a city-funded comprehensive sidewalk construction plan that would focus on creating sidewalks that connect to existing sidewalks frequently used by citizens in the city rather than constructing sidewalks when a new building is constructed.
Action Taken: Moved to the April 6, 2021 city council meeting agenda.
- ZONING CLASSIFICATIONS AT THE FORMER RAMADA INN
