WEST ALEXANDRIA Village Council passed the first reading of a controversial drug ordinance, updated residents on the status of a levy to increase funding for the police department, and addressed complaints against the local fire department during its regular monthly meeting Monday, Feb. 23.
Council last discussed adopting an ordinance to penalize owners of properties repeatedly involved in drug-related offenses during its Jan. 18 meeting. Owners of properties found to be in violation would face warnings and fines, and could even lose the ability to continue renting or residing at a property for a period of time.
