Fairfax, CA —Today, Town of Fairfax appeared in Federal Court regarding a request for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and Preliminary Injunction filed by Shaylee Koontz and members of an unhoused encampment located on Town property near the ballfield. The request seeks to prevent enforcement of the Town’s anti-camping ordinance.
The Court has scheduled a hearing on the request for a Preliminary Injunction for March 18, 2025. This hearing will provide the Town an opportunity to formally submit its opposition to the request.
In the meantime, in accordance with the Court’s direction, no enforcement of the anti-camping ordinance against the encampment near the ballfield will take place prior to the March 18 hearing.
The Town remains committed to addressing this matter with care, balancing legal obligations, community needs, and the well-being of all Fairfax residents.
