The city of Tempe will hold its final public meeting on Monday to get input on a controversial park ordinance.
Some aid groups that use parks for food distribution were worried the change would unfairly target unhoused people and those that serve them.
The city is reworking the original ordinance and some community members are unhappy with the decision to do so instead of creating a new code from scratch.
Some residents are concerned that the language of the ordinance might encourage arbitrary enforcement and unequal standards and possibly create free speech issues.
The meeting Monday is at the Tempe Public Library in the Desert Willow Room at 6 p.m.
