Homelessness and public safety assessment proposal
Summary
A resident presented a proposal for a 90-day local study of homelessness, addiction and public safety, arguing the city already pays for the problem through police calls, EMS runs and cleanup — and that grant money requires proving need first. She asked the council to put it on a future agenda.
