Following Council discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Borelli that the City Council authorize the Mayor to send a letter to the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors regarding the proposed Perks Court homeless navigation center, encouraging the County to move forward with the project, and in the letter, include language reaffirming the City’s opposition to Pierroz Rd. as a viable location; state that the homeless issue is a county-wide problem, not a city problem, that the impact on emergency medical services and the hospital will continue, and after numerous unanimous or 4-1votes, it is inappropriate to change course on the matter at this time.
