The panhandling ordinances will be discussed at the 3:30 p.m. meeting.
Memphis City Council members will take the first of three votes today on new ordinances that would restrict panhandling Downtown and ban selling single cans of beer in the area.
The council session will begin at 3:30 p.m. today at City Hall, 125 N. Main St. A full agenda is on Page 10.
The single beer sales are tied to the panhandling effort being pushed by the Center City Commission.
The push has resulted from complaints that aggressive panhandlers are disruptive to businesses and visitors and that they use the money they request to buy alcohol.
Memphis Daily News has the whole agenda up here.
