The City of Findlay is considering an ordinance prohibiting loitering.

Law Director Rob Feighner says it has come to his attention, and that of the Mayor, of increased complaints regarding loitering in and around parts of downtown.

The loitering often includes signs of drug use and other criminal acts, Feighner said.  

The city says the intention of the ordinance is to have some control and enforcement of such conduct which currently does not exist in city code.

You can read the ordinance below.

The next Findlay City Council meeting is on Wednesday, November 5, beginning at 6 p.m. in Council Chambers in the Findlay Municipal Building.
