Occupy Atlanta protestors will get another reprieve from vacating Woodruff Park, this one lasting three weeks, according to an executive order issued Monday by Mayor Kasim Reed.

Reed extended the executive order allowing Occupy Atlanta protestors to remain in Woodruff Park after the park closes at 11 p.m. each night. The order is effective through the adjournment of the next Atlanta City Council meeting on Nov. 7.

"As of today, the Occupy Atlanta protesters continue to assemble in a peaceful, non-violent fashion in Robert W. Woodruff Park," Reed said in a statement. "I remain committed to ensuring public safety and enforcing the laws of the city. The Atlanta Police Department and other city officials continue to monitor the park and the protesters."

Reed said his order does not prevent the city from responding at will to changing conditions in the park, or to public safety issues. He said the city is prepared to act swiftly if the situation in the park warranted quick action.

Neighboring businesses and residents have complained about the protesters, and Reed said he was aware of that. But he noted that the protesters cooperated with the city’s request to clean the park on Saturday. City crews pressure-washed the park's hard surfaces and removed litter and debris.

Reed said his administration would work with Occupy Atlanta members to minimize noise levels after 9 p.m.

"We've gotten numerous complaints as to what they're doing," said Ivory Lee Young Jr., who chairs the City Council's public safety committee. "If you're going to occupy, occupy with purpose. What they're doing appears to be nothing more than a camp-out."

Young said if Occupy Atlanta would articulate a clearer message about how it plans to help 99 percent of Americans, city leaders would not automatically oppose the protests. But as of now, the protesters are "wasting the public's time," he said.
