DESCRIPTION/BACKGROUND:

Over the past decade, there have been times the County has needed to trespass citizens from certain County facilities for public safety and welfare. Local law enforcement, as allowed by state law, has issued “trespass warnings” to these individuals on Marion County owned property. Such trespass warnings are given to individuals who were acting in violation of county ordinances or Florida Statutes. The practice has not been formally memorialized within the County Code previously. The presence of individuals who violate Florida Statutes or county ordinances, rules or regulations on public property creates a threat to the public safety and welfare.

 

BUDGET/IMPACT:

None

 

RECOMMENDED ACTION:

Recommended action

Motion to schedule and advertise a Public Hearing to consider an Ordinance Relating to Trespass on Marion County Owned Property on Tuesday, August 6, 2024 at 10:00 a.m., or as soon thereafter in the McPherson Governmental Campus Auditorium.
