Chair Dulce Gutiérrez called the meeting to order at 2:02 p.m.
Discussion of Ten-Point Plan to Address Homelessness – C. Moore described the draft fiscal note
and logistical review prepared by staff. A thorough in-depth review of each item listed on the Ten
Point Plan was discussed by the Committee members:
1. Amend the city ordinance to allow camping and designate a specific city-owned property where
camping may be permitted. The Committee talked about the previous locations that were considered
by City Council earlier this year (Tiger Mart on N. 1st St, Race St Park, Fair Ave/I-82 ramp, Bravo
Co. roundabout, Wastewater Plant) as well as two locations identified by the Fire Department (Fair
Ave/Nob Hill Blvd fire station and Race St property). Other considerations pointed out were the
City’s authority and responsibility, duration, rules and regulations, and location impacts.
2. Portable bathrooms. The alternative of purchasing toilet/shower trailers was discussed.
3. Garbage. Providing garbage pick-up service and disposal boxes for needles.
4. Shower access. Currently shower access is available through local area service providers such as
YMCA, Triumph Treatment Services, and Union Gospel Mission. The City could pursue direct
partnership with these agencies for this service.
5. Animal assisted therapy. Staff is still researching possible options for this service.
6. Family reunification utilizing bus vouchers. Committee consensus to support this as it has been
successful in other communities.
7. Safeguard cubbies for personal property of campers. This topic was discussed at length. The total
estimated cost is $190,000 (including staff costs). A. Gutiérrez and Méndez expressed concern due
to the substantial expense stating that this is not an immediate priority. S. Watkins explained
liability factors related to personal property. Méndez stated perhaps this can be included in a long
term five-year plan.
8. PO Box and key. Staff are researching possible options and cost.
9. Assist in acquiring WA State ID Card. Staff time cost is unknown.
10. Assist in opening banking checking account. Staff time cost is unknown. D. Gutiérrez described
the employment enablement program, which would provide an opportunity for homeless individuals
to participate in volunteer work to earn some of the services noted in the plan. The total annual cost
for the plan is approximately $309,000 and one-time cost of approximately $127,400.
Significant discussion continued on selecting a designated location, potential funding source, a
service management and operational plan, prioritizing the ten point plan, and establishing rules and
regulations. A. Gutiérrez motioned, seconded by Méndez, to send a recommendation to City
Council to move forward with the Ten Point Plan in three phases (Phase one consisting of points 1,
2, and 3; Phase two consisting of points 4, 8, 9, and 10; Phase three consisting of points 5, 6, and 7);
motion carried. Regarding the location, Méndez motioned, seconded by A. Gutiérrez, to recommend
the Fair Ave/Nob Hill Blvd Fire Station as the potential site for the homeless camp; motion carried
unanimously. Staff will prepare a management plan for partial access and all day access.
Due to scheduling purposes, A. Gutiérrez motioned, seconded by Méndez, to move Item 3
(Community Equity Program) and Item 5d (Parks Commission Budget Priority Rankings) to the
next meeting agenda. Motion carried unanimously.
Méndez motioned, seconded by A. Gutiérrez, to approve the October 20, 2016 minutes as
presented. Motion carried.
Discuss Orientation Meeting for New Exploratory Committees – Watkins provided an overview of
the draft agenda for the exploratory committee orientation, Community Integration and Ethics &
Equal Rights. The orientation will take place on Thursday December 8, 2016 for both exploratory
groups. Included in their orientation is the required Public Records Act and Open Public Meetings
Act training. The Committee stressed the importance of complying with this required training.
Community Equity Program – This item was tabled to the next NCBC meeting by previous motion.
Report on Feasibility of CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) Funds for Sewer
Connections – Matthews informed the Committee that the CDBG program can be used to fund
sewer connections for low to moderate income families. He explained that it would require other
programs to be reduced, such as the Emergency Senior Disabled program. He suggested not cutting
services to the senior disabled fund. The Committee was in consensus.
Méndez motioned, seconded by D. Gutiérrez, to move item 5a related to Millennium Plaza to the
next meeting agenda; motion carried.
Parks Updates – Wilkinson reported on preliminary park survey results, which were also presented
to the Parks Commission. Staff will finish entering all the data results. Watkins updated the
Committee on the Cherry Park property progress. The case was heard by the Community Review
Board, which determined that the structure needs to be demolished. It is an ongoing matter and at
this time the City has not yet acquired ownership. An update on Rosalma Park was given by
Wilkinson.
Board Appointed Reports – Standing Item
Comprehensive Plan Update – Calhoun reported that the Planning Commission has reviewed
several elements. Consultants are working on the Environmental Impact Statement, with a draft
anticipated by the beginning of the New Year then the public comment process will begin. The
target for City Council public hearing is April/May 2017.
Homeless Network – D. Gutiérrez will attend the next meeting.

results, safer park ordinance, and Randall Park improvements.
