In a split vote, Fort Collins City Council decided against appealing a court ruling related to enforcement of the city's camping ban.
Council voted 4-3 to not appeal the recent ruling, which found that Fort Collins Police Services unconstitutionally ticketed a man for sleeping in his car at a rest stop in 2018. ACLU of Colorado assisted the man, Adam Wiemold, in his appeal of the ticket.
When they emerged, three council members said they supported an appeal: Mayor Wade Troxell and council members Ross Cunniff and Susan Gutowsky. As one motivation for the appeal, Troxell cited a need for clarification on the question of voluntary vs. involuntary homelessness.
