Subject: Homeless Emergency
In response to your late agenda item that you plan to adopt an "emergency"
ordinance to prohibit the homeless from sleeping in their motorhomes ...
Please consider the following:
This is no emergency. This is simply another hermetic city hall legalistic steamroller of the sort residents are becoming
all too familiar (and annoyed) with, in this case called an "emergency" solely for political reasons.
2. It seems really stupid to further antagonize the judge by adopting an "emergency" ordinance to try to negate his
injunction. What do you suppose he will do in response if you poke his beehive with this stick? You will eventually have
to appear before him for trial. Just let it be till the trial.
3. Use of the emergency ordinance provisions and associated Brown Act violations (29 hours prior to your meeting,
there is still no staff report or ordinance text, and if that isn't a Brown Act violation, what is it ?) to pass an "emergency"
ordinance to deal with a non - emergency situation, is government by depravity, not leadership.
4. My faith in anyone who votes for this vindictive and ill- advised "emergency" charade will be so sufficiently shattered
that I will not support his or her re- election.
5. Any of you who vote for this should be ashamed of yourselves.
