Upon receiving a recommendation from the Park Board, the Tacoma City Council will conduct a “first reading” of a proposed ordinance reflecting the recommended revisions to Title 8.37- Park Code. Changes to Tacoma’s Municipal Code require a “first and second reading” by the Council. The “first reading” is a reading of the brief synopsis of the title of the ordinance and is conducted during a council meeting before the meeting at which the ordinance will be voted on. Pending Council deliberation, the proposed ordinance will be moved to a “second reading” at its next regularly scheduled Council meeting- October 8, 2019.
