An Ordinance Amending Section 101 (Vehicular Traffic Limited) of  
Article 27 (Park Traffic Offenses) of chapter 10 (Motor Vehicle and

Springs 2001, as amended, pertaining to park traffic offenses.

Britt Haley, Director, Parks Recreation and Cultural Services Department,  
introduced the Ordinance amending City Code pertaining to park traffic  
offenses.  
Councilmember Leinweber recognized Ms. Haley’s leadership over the  
City’s park system.  
Citizen Gerald White spoke in opposition of the proposed Ordinance  
because he feels it is too simple and does not meet the needs concerning  
motorized vehicles. He stated the existing Ordinance states it is unlawful to  
drive any vehicle which would include bicycles, but it does address  
snowmobiles which are not a problem on the trails. Mr. White stated high  
powered scooters and electric one-wheels have not been properly  
addressed in the proposed Ordinance and requested the Ordinance be  
postponed to take the time to fix the deficiencies and add in descriptions of  
motor vehicles that are consistent with what they are seeing on trails. He  
stated there are a great amount of infrastructure within the City that look like  
a Park’s trail that are actually within the Public Works Department and the  
Ordinance should apply across the entire City.  
Councilmember Henjum requested this item be postponed to the January  
27, 2026 City Council meeting to allow time for the Colorado  
Transportation Advisory Committee (CTAB) to review and define  
motorized vehicles better. Caitlin Moldenhaur, Associate Attorney, City  
Attorney’s Office, stated the Ordinance identifies the exceptions to in the  
second paragraph.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked if the Park Rangers will have the  
capacity to issue citations. Eric Becker, Maintenance and Operations  
Manager, Parks, Recreation and Cultural Services Department, stated they  
will not, they will be working with Colorado Springs Police Department  
Officers regarding citations.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked what the fee structure would be. Mr.  
Becker stated that it has not been determined yet.  
Councilmember Donelson asked if Ms. Haley would prefer this Ordinance  
move forward today with possible future amendments added by CTAB if  
needed. Ms. Haley confirmed that is their preference so they can address  
the natural spaces.  
Councilmember Henjum asked how long it would take to complete a more  
comprehensive Ordinance. Ms. Haley stated the earliest would be in March  
of 2026.  
Motion by Councilmember Henjum, seconded by Councilmember  
Leinweber, to postpone the Ordinance amending Section 101 (Vehicular  
Traffic Limited) of Article 27 (Park Traffic Offenses) of chapter 10 (Motor  
Vehicle and Traffic) vehicular traffic limited of the code of the City of  
Colorado Springs 2001, as amended, pertaining to park traffic offenses to

reasons behind the change, cost comparison, and implementation.  
President Crow-Iverson asked how this program would be funded once  
behaviors have changes and the number of violations is reduced. Charae  
McDaniel, Chief Financial Officer, stated they would prioritize the  
efficiencies of the CSPD through the budget process.  
President Crow-Iverson and President Pro Tem Risley stated instead of  
junk fees, their preference is an increase of the Public Safety Sales Tax  
(PSST).  
Councilmember Henjum stated she does not believe that these penalties  
are junk fees because they are applied to people who are breaking the law.  
Councilmember Rainey and Councilmember Bailey stated the City needs  
to find better ways of managing and forecasting the budget.  
Councilmember Donelson and Councilmember Bailey stated they believe  
the public would support targeting the people who have broken the law to  
be responsible for the costs.

2025 Camping Ordinance - Council Presentation  
Councilmember Donelson introduced the Ordinance amending the  
Ordinance repealing and amending the City Code sections pertaining to  
camping regulations and providing penalties for the violation thereof.  
Emily Vandenberg, Prosecuting Attorney, City Attorney’s Office, stated they  
have been working closely with the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT), to  
identify their needs and provide the resources requested.  
Lieutenant Ryan Tepley, HOT, CSPD, provided an overview of their current  
practice.  
Ms. Vandenberg identified the current violation information, CSPD/court  
outreach efforts, proposed Ordinance, major changes, reasons behind the  
change, and implementation.  
Councilmember Bailey asked how the process would work. Lt. Tepley  
stated once CSPD receives notice of violation, they post a 24-hour notice  
for the camp/vehicle to be moved.  
Councilmember Bailey asked how many of the 114 notices given, how  
many moved their camp/vehicle. Lt. Tepley stated usually when people are  
contacted, they move, but it depends on the individual.  
Councilmember Henjum asked what happens when someone receives a  
citation. Lt. Tepley stated they are issued a Serve and Release ticket with a  
court date and resources such as The Springs Rescue Mission.  
Councilmember Henjum asked what occurs when someone refuses  
resources. Lt. Tepley provided an overview of what is considered  
accepting resources.  
Councilmember Henjum asked if CSPD Officers will be addressing  
individuals camping in their vehicles. Lt. confirmed it would be.  
Councilmember Henjum asked what the penalties are for illegal camping.  
Ms. Vandenberg stated the penalty is subject to a fine up to $2,500,  
probation, and jail up to 189 days, or any combination of those.  
Councilmember Henjum asked how many people have gone to jail for this  
violation. Ms. Vandenberg stated they would have to obtain that information  
from municipal court.  
Councilmember Henjum asked if the El Paso County Sherriff was in  
support of this Ordinance. Councilmember Donelson stated he had spoken  
with Sherriff Roybal in the past, but they do not see this Ordinance creating  
a large impact on the jail system.  
Councilmember Henjum stated the biggest concern she has with this  
Ordinance is where people would go.  
Councilmember Leinweber stated the City does need an Ordinance to  
address the camping, but the City also needs to have a strategic plan to  
deal with homelessness.  
Councilmember Donelson asked if fines and court costs are waived for  
people experiencing homelessness. Ms. Vanderberg confirmed they did.  
Citizens David Valliancourt and Rick Herman, spoke in support of the  
proposed Ordinance.  
Citizens Susan Bolduc, Alisa Rizo, Tim Close, Rabbi Iah Pillsbury, Codi  
Natellli, Mark Johnson, Katherine Romber, Kayla Murphy, Dr. Jason  
Fournier, Mia McCall, Jacqueline Deutsch, Eric Deutsch, Mary  
Sprunger-Froese, Beth Roalstad, Gerald White, Oli Glesner, Bug Peterson,  
EmRhys Jenkins, Eliza Blanning, Maryah Lauer, and Merrina Mendez  
spoke in opposition of the proposed Ordinance.  
Councilmember Henjum asked how many shelter beds are being prepared  
for this upcoming winter and if this Ordinance will affect that number. Aimee  
Cox, Chief Housing Officer, Housing and Homeless Response, stated they  
are planning for seven hundred shelter beds for temperatures 19 degrees  
or less and 850 shelter beds for temperatures ten degrees or less for two  
days in a row and their calculations were based on a slight increase of  
shelter usage in 2024, not vehicle camping impacts.  
Councilmember Henjum asked what providing a safe place for individuals  
camping in their cars would look like. Ms. Cox stated the goal is safety, to  
be effective, and solve the problem and they are continuing to work with  
providers to find long-term solutions.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked if there was any safe parking for vehicle  
camping available within the City. Ms. Cox stated not that she was aware  
of.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked if overnight parking was available at  
churches. Kevin Walker stated parking and housing is an accessory use for  
churches.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked why some vehicle parking is allowed 72  
hours and some are only allowed 24 hours. Lt. Tepley stated it depends on  
what property they are located at such as private property, parks, or public  
property.  
Councilmember Leinweber stated he will propose an amendment to  
change the 24 hours to 72 hours.  
Councilmember Williams asked if the Administration had an opinion  
regarding this Ordinance. Jamie Fabos, Chief of Staff, stated the Mayor  
supports the proposed Ordinance in order to give CSPD a tool to move  
people along as a public safety interest, and she agrees that the City  
needs to have public service providers to help people experiencing  
homelessness.  
Councilmember Donelson stated even if this Ordinance is passed, they  
can continue to work on solutions.  
Councilmember Donelson asked how often children are involved when  
CSPD receives complaints regarding vehicle camping in front of homes or  
businesses. Lt. Tepley stated it is very often that complaints involve  
concern for their children.  
Councilmember Bailey asked what is expected to happen between now  
and May 13, 2026 if this item is postponed because providing services is  
not the purview of the City. Councilmember Henjum stated it would give the  
opportunity for more involvement from other agencies regarding the  
potential consequences or amendments needed for this Ordinance.  
Councilmember Leinweber asked where individuals experiencing  
homelessness who are younger than 18 years old could go. Ms. Cox stated  
they are working with El Paso County, but currently, there is not a place for  
unaccompanied youth to go.  
Councilmember Rainey asked if the CSPD Police Chief supports this  
Ordinance. Ms. Fabos stated she believes he supports it and it is the  
discretion of his officers to enforce it.  
Motion by Councilmember Henjum, seconded by Councilmember Gold, to  
postpone the Ordinance amending Section 110 (Camping on Public  
Property Prohibited) and repealing Section 111 (Camping and Waste  
Deposit Within Public Stream/Public Stream Riparian Zone Prohibited) of  
Part 1 (General Offenses) of Article 6 (Offenses Affecting Property) and  
repealing Section 404 (Camping Restrictions) of Part 4 (Offenses
