WORK SESSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION: Homeless Camping Public Works Director, Kurt Corey briefly recapped this topic. He noted that after some consideration the idea of the City creating a database to connect people to services is not feasible for a variety of reasons. The Mayor and Council discussed several components of the `rest stop' idea. Concerns were raised about specific sites such as the Naval Reserve building and the County Farm property, as both are in residential areas and the Naval Reserve building is very near a school. MOTION and VOTE: Councilor Poling, seconded by Councilor Clark, moved to direct the City Manager to not consider either the Naval Reserve Center property or the County Farm property as a potential location for a homeless camp /rest stop type site. A friendly amendment adding the language `any additional development of those areas where homeless people are camping' was accepted. PASSED: 8:0. Mayor Piercy shared the details of a proposed camping ordinance prepared by the City Manager. MINUTES — Eugene City Council September 23, 2013 Page 2 Work Session
