Portland Mayor's new proposed camping ban gets two amendments added, will move to second hearing

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — After much debate and public testimony, two amendments have been formally adopted by Portland City Council for Mayor Ted Wheeler's proposed camping ban going forward, with a set of amendments brought by Commissioner Rene Gonzalez failing to pass enough votes to join them.

The proposed camping ban ordinance as a whole, with those new amendments, hasn't been fully adopted yet. However, Wednesday's City Council Meeting does set the stage for an eventual vote with a second hearing.
