Alejandro Ramirez, Norfolk Daily News</figcaption></figure>The Norfolk City Council approved an ordinance on Monday establishing the framework for future entertainment districts within the city, despite objections from some council members and residents who argued the proposal needed additional public discussion.City attorney Melissa Figueroa said, "I want to be clear that all this ordinance does is create a framework for an entertainment district. We're not establishing a district tonight."It's going to give the council, if it passes, a legal foundation and the tools to designate a future entertainment district."Figueroa added that the ordinance allows the City Council to create an entertainment district as long as two thresholds are met: an active business or association that represents the businesses in an affected area has requested an entertainment district, and that food service is available during all hours the district is in operation.According to the Norfolk Daily News, the council approved the ordinance on second and third readings. Council members Jeff Jensen and Sue Beckman voted against the measure.</div></body>
