Weaver, Joseph and Young apparently have no understanding of what it means to have a "holistic discussion" on homelessness.
That's not me saying it... that's literally what they are saying in a scheduling meeting now about the followup to Tuesday's meeting.
"I don’t really comprehend what that means bc in the end we make discrete decisions. ... I don’t understand what a holistic (discussion)
Council decided last week that camps will keep being removed BUT they didn't weigh in on staff's recommendations for more enforcement. Members Brockett/Friend said they didn't want to vote on those without also considering more services....
....which might reduce the need for removals.
Basically, you can spend on removals or you can spend on services. So to uncouple these discussions doesn't make sense, they argued.
Council members will be polled about when they want this Part 2 meeting to be, but Weaver and Joseph are both in favor of later. Council needs time to "digest," they said. So possibly March or later.
