The City Council Committee on Public Safety will hold two subject matter hearings Tuesday and take up a measure to crack down on drug dealing near schools, parks and playgrounds.

The public safety committee is set to convene for a hearing at 10 a.m. and will reconvene a meeting recessed last week at 11:30 a.m. to take up outstanding business.
