Subject: Public comment for 1/14 council meeting, item 2.8 [External Email. Do not open links or attachments from untrusted sources. Learn morel Dear City Council,
No one on the council, or the council as a whole, has the legal authority to waive state vehicular laws, as it relates to vehicles traveling to the 1300 Berryessa RV parking lot. "Supportive parking programs generally require that program participants have a vehicle registration, proof of ownership, insurance, and an operable vehicle. These program requirements ultimately limit access to essential resources for those who need them the most and disproportionately affect those without the financial means to maintain up-to-date documentation and vehicle operability. In alignment with City Council direction, WeHOPE will lift these program requirements in order to increase program participant access and ensure full utilization of the program site.
Removing these requirements will result in greater alignment with Housing First guidelines, enabling some of the most vulnerable individuals to access supportive parking programs through a low-barrier program model." If one of these unregistered, uninsured, unsafe vehicles (and possibly stolen) vehicles, driven by an unlicensed operator hurts, or kills, someone on the way to your new socialist parking lot, everyone of you will have blood on your hands and should be held personally liable, with no indemnification from the City, or taxpayers.
I fear for what you are exposing the great citizens of SJ to.
