President Alicia Kuhl still takes concerns and complaints. Also notable: City Council's failure to use the $14.5 million to set up survival campgrounds outside the Benchlands and support those that exist! Their principal goal seems to be to provide token shelter so they can restore the Sleeping/Camping Ban (MC 6.36) aka the Camping Services and Standards Ordinance and resume their "hide out or get out" policy. They would circumvent the Martin v. Boise "no tickets without real shelter" ruling by setting aside 10 shelter spaces up at the Overlook encampment and claiming those who don't take them are "service resistant" and so no longer protected by that ruling.
