The ordinance should go back to square one, and be rewritten. In one person's opinion, the camping should be allowed, with timing limits, and safety limites. Timing being seven consecutive days, safety being no bump-outs sticking into the street, and no cords or cables crossing public walkways, (sidewalks). There should be worded in the new ordinance that the city will work in the spirit of cooperation, in terms of policing the time limits. But, the ordinance should also state, after due consideration and discussions with camper individuals, enforcement if necessary will be at the discretion of the Red Lodge Police Department. If a camper is a hazard the occupants will be asked to move it in a way that it is not a hazard. If the only driver appears impaired, then law enforcement has the responsibility to follow the law.
