Public comment
- Victoria Peterson pulled the item from the consent agenda to say the city has "dropped the ball" on homelessness in the Black community. She cited about 150 camps and about 600 homeless individuals (her figures, attributed to the city's HEART outreach program).
- She asked the council to take up the old Lincoln Apartments site near McDougald Terrace, described as roughly nine acres that has sat vacant 10 to 15 years and is owned by the housing authority, and put it in the hands of developers to house people in need. These claims are hers and unverified.
Status and next steps
- Resolved by the vote. The property request carried into the next item, see HUD Emergency Solutions Grant.
