I am forwarding you somedocumentson the subject Councilitem which can aid in the discussionwith the rest of the members.
Pleasefind the following:
Emailsto SupervisorSarmiento - I have requestedthat the County considerexpanding the hours for intake at YaleCenterbeyond3 pm. Ken told me this has been a difficult point with the County.
With all the money the City is investing in this servicefor the expansionof operating hours, there is some disconnectbetweenthe effort and the resources. I cameabout this through my own individual instance and a follow up with Ken.
Wall St JournalArticle on Reno - Pleaseread this article about Reno's efforts to reduce homelessness. It is very well aligned to your issueson the City Net contract.
Item # 8 - I am attaching the staff report as it refers to the need to increaseCity Net salariesto align to market and to hire quality staff. With the ongoing shortageof police officers nationwide, the City should considerthe same wagestandardsfor their police officers.
