<br />December 12, 2018, Work Session – Item 1 <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL <br />AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY <br /> <br /> Work Session and Potential Action: 525 Highway 99 Dusk to Dawn and/or Rest Stop Site Designation Meeting Date: December 12, 2018 Agenda Item Number: 1 Department: City Manager’s Office Staff Contact: Kristie Hammitt <br />www.eugene-or.gov Contact Telephone Number: 541-682-5010 <br /> <br />ISSUE STATEMENT This work session is a follow-up to the council discussion on November 28, 2018, regarding the transition of the Highway 99 temporary camp to a Dusk to Dawn site and request from Lane County to designate the site for this purpose. Designation of this site as a Dusk to Dawn site and/or a Rest Stop location requires council approval. Staff will update council about the proposed transition of the temporary homeless camp on Highway 99 to the Dusk to Dawn Program, with access to Lindholm Center services, to provide for the safety, security and management of the site. In addition, staff will present information about services provided in the Dusk to Dawn and Rest Stop programs. <br />BACKGROUND The site at 525 Highway 99 was opened in late October as a temporary (30-60 day) measure to help create a safer and healthier camping location for nearly 100 people who had been camping on the downtown Butterfly Lot. Following the establishment of the temporary site, City and County staff spent the first few weeks addressing the emergent needs of those in and around the camp area. With temporary measures in place the team shifted focus to developing a more robust winter plan for providing for the safety and security of individuals at the camp. The current camp does not have the infrastructure or management support needed to sustain it as a safe and healthy place for the people it is serving over a longer period of time. The 525 Highway 99 site transition plan to a Dusk to Dawn site would provide heated tents, secure sleeping areas, and storage for personal belongings. Dusk to Dawn clients receive services at the Lindholm Center including meals, showers, laundry, telephone and computer access, hygiene products and services from other providers. In October, the City and County partnered to <br />fund expanded services at the Lindholm Center in order to accommodate the influx of individuals <br />seeking services from the 525 Highway 99 temporary camp.
