The Assembly will hold a work session this morning to discuss the updated sanctioned campsites resolution.
Assembly member Felix Rivera laid out a new resolution for the task force, which will be presented to the Assembly during Friday’s work session at City Hall.the task force’s resolution for sanctioned campgrounds on the meeting agenda. The task force has established five potential homeless camps with amenities. Those amenities would possibly include dumpsters, portable bathrooms, clean water, and offices.
“A lot of them were made because of the resolution not making it onto the assembly calendar, the assembly agenda for the last meeting,” task force leader Caroline Storm said. “So, we just had to shift several dates back several weeks. And we removed the very contentious naming of private property owners.”
“Whenever you discuss homelessness or shelters or sanctioned camp, really any of it, there is always a lot of concerns about safety,” Rivera said. “So certainly that is something we want to handle front and center. We want to make sure we are dealing with safety both for the people who would be in the sanctioned camp and for the uses surrounding the sanctioned camp.”
