In response to questions and comments provided by Council Member Sanchez, CPO Huynh t) explained that an individual must have an "established tie" to the City in order to be eligible for a bed at the Shelter, further explaining that an "established tie" could include working in the City, attending school in the City, and/or previously residing in the City; 2) clarified that "short term exits" refer to those that enter the Shelter, but leave within one to seven days, further explaining that it is common for unhoused individuals to leave the Shelter quickly because they are unaware of how the Shelter operates and functions, further expressing the opinion that this issue could be alleviated by providing more outreach so those entering the Shelter are fully aware of the expectations and rules; 3) stated that Mercy House provides meals, health care services through L.A. Care, and employment services to residents of the Shelter; and 4) confirmed that Mercy House is looking into becoming "vendorized" by the County of Los Angeles ("County").

At the request of Mayor Pro Tem Santa Ines, 1) CPO Huynh expressed the opinion that the average length of stay is high because there is not enough affordable housing for residents after leaving the Shelter in addition to a lack of availability of resources for permanently supportive housing; 2) City Manager Smoot a) reiterated that the current challenge is providing additional resources ro individuals after they leave the Shelter, noting that there is tunding available, but tools are needed to provide the additional resources; and b) explained that the City engages with unhoused individuals primarily through Southwest Patrol and/or the Public Safety DepartmenF however, most that are contacted refuse to enter the Shelter.

Johson decision, further explaining that the City is no longer legally required to provide beds for unhoused individuals to enforce its anti-nuisance regulations; and 2) if the City Council were to deviate from the obligations outlined in the 2019 settlement agreement, the City Attomey's Office would inform the Court of the City Council's action, further clarifying that informing the Court is not a legal requirement, but should be done.

For the record, Mayor Dunton 1) expressed the opinion that the City did not receive what was promised with the consent decree as it was his understanding that an unhoused individual refusing to enter the Shelter would have to leave the City or be jailed; however, this has not been enforced by the County Sheriffs Department; 2) expressed frustration with the homeless issue within the City, expressing the opinion that what the City is doing to address the issues is not working; and 3) suggested the City look into decreasing the amount of beds provided at the Shelter and utilize the cost savings to increase policing efforts or mental health services for the homeless.
