EASTHAMPTON — At its meeting on Feb. 4, the Easthampton City Council made moves on city housing issues, appropriated funds for a new dog park and listened to public safety updates.
The council voted to move a resolution in support of creating the Easthampton Housing Crisis Task Force to the rules subcommittee.
Two residents spoke in support of the resolution during public comment time noting that the Easthampton Tenants Union has been discussing issues of negative landlord behavior and the costs of rent in the city. They also encouraged the council to ensure that renters will be on the task force.
