Police Chief Cervenka presented the staff report on this agenda item.
Public Comment: None.
Discussion: Council consensus was to transfer funds from the City Council budget to continue to provide funding for the Emergency Weather Shelter (EWS) to house homeless persons during cold and stormy weather. The Council agreed that if and when state or federal funding provides reimbursement for these costs, the money received would be used for the EWS to continue to help shelter homeless persons in inclement weather.
A motion was made by Councilmember Peters, seconded by Mayor Norvell, that funds be transferred from the City Council budget to continue funding the Emergency Weather Shelter, and that any reimbursement of funds from state or federal programs also be transferred to the EWS budget. The motion carried by the following vote:
Aye: Mayor Norvell, Vice Mayor Godeke, Councilmember Albin-Smith, Councilmember Peters and Councilmember Rafanan
