The Hood River City Council approved the first reading of an ordinance to prohibit vehicles from being parked on City streets for more than one week, and require them to be moved at least two blocks after that point.  It’s to address issues in neighborhoods where vehicles are parked for long periods of time without being moved at all.  Hood River Police Chief Neal Holste said officers needed the ordinance in order to be able to initiate conversations with people about moving the vehicles.  While some on the Council were concerned about some of the details of the ordinance, Councilor Mark Zanmiller said it fills a hole in their laws.  The ordinance will be read for a second time for final passage at the Council’s September 11 meeting.  City staff will report on impacts of the ordinance after it has been in effect for 90 days.
