First vote on changes to carport ordinance fails Tuesday at Colorado Springs City Council meeting
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (KRDO) An issue that has been a controversy for nearly a year remains unresolved, at least for now.
Tuesday evening, members took their first official vote on amending the current ordinance regulating carports.
The motion which came at around 5 p.m. for making changes to the ordinance failed, 4-4, with Councilman Richard Skorman excused because of a personal matter. The matter now goes back to a council work session next month, said Councilman Wayne Williams. There were concerns raised by a number of individuals from other neighborhoods.
City council members unanimously voted to approve an ordinance Tuesday that allows police to seize vehicles suspected of being involved in street racing and other crimes across the city.
