Huntington Woods City Commission

**Comment on moratorium on room rentals at Huntington Woods City Commission Meeting, Tuesday, 2/18**. Calling Huntington Woods residents to attend the HW City Commission Meeting on February to make public comments. The following item is on the agenda:
***Resolution R-2025: Matter of consideration to approve a temporary moratorium on room rentals and reservations applications by recognized community groups.***
This moratorium and possible future ban on community groups renting city facilities will prevent the Club from meeting on HW City property. Here is the background.
For at least the past two months, some residents of HW have attended HW Commission meetings and asked the Commission to ban political groups from meeting or hosting events on city property. These residents have said they feel threatened by events and groups that have been calling for a cease fire in Gaza. See the public comments at the beginning of the December meeting and the January meeting. (Also at the January meeting, Commissioners asked the City Attorney to look into possible restrictions on room rentals that would not run afoul of the First Amendment. See the discussion beginning at 39.38 of the January meeting.)
Just this past week, the Huntington Woods Peace group, a recognized community group that has met for years in the Huntington Woods library, was denied access to City facilities for a scheduled meeting. They were denied a room in both the Community Center and the Library. They were told that meeting attendance was likely to be too large for the library room and that HW police were not prepared to deal with any protests. If you feel strongly about allowing our club and other groups to continue to meet in Huntington Woods' facilities, please attend the meeting and make public comment.

Come to the MDP convention
