CITY MANAGER / REPORTS ADMIN (1104-1-12)
POLICE DEPT ADMIN (302-4-1)
29. Police Executive Research Forum -"The Police Response to Homelessness".
(City Manager/Police)
REPORT: City Manager Leslie Deese and Police Chief Manuel Rodriguez
reported on some of the key take aways from the National Conference Forum
on homelessness which they attended:
• 25% of the nation's homeless are in California.
• Any city with a riverbed has homeless encampments.
• Homelessness is not just a police problem, it needs a multi -disciplinary or
outreach team approach.
• Since every homeless situation is different, it is important to have
representatives from Police, Public Works, Code, Mental Health and
Social Services.
• It must be a regional approach.
• The County is responsible for Mental Health and Social Services and
must be part of the equation.

POLICE DEPT ADMIN (302-4-1)
29. Police Executive Research Forum (continued)
• Not enough case managers, mental health and social workers to handle
the case load.
• Can't rely on Police alone.
• There must be a balance between enforcement and compassion. Taking
people who live on the street to jail simply won't solve the problem. You
are not going to arrest your way out of homelessness.
• Community Partnerships are essential.
• There must be political will and support to tackle the problem to be
successful.
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
Member Mendivil related his experience dealing with a homeless situation at a
local business and said it was important that the City prioritize situations for
enforcement.
Member Sotelo-Solis commented on the Regional Outreach Task Force on
Homelessness and encouraged attendance at the upcoming budget sessions.
Member Rios shared her perspective on the importance of tackling the homeless
issue, acknowledged a local businessman who complimented the professionalism
of City Building Official Luis Sainz and reported on her selection as Vice Chair of
the Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) Board and provided an update on MTS
activities.
Member Cano gave kudos to various departments for their work on graffiti, parking
enforcement, motorhome abatement and traffic enforcement and congratulated
Robert Garcia, outgoing Chairperson of the Planning Commission, and incoming
Chair Ditas Yamane. Member Cano referenced a previous City Council meeting
and read the following statement into the record: "I would like to redress the
matter regarding Mundo Gardens requesting continue to use City owned land I
might have had limited information about this matter during the time that we were
considering the situation. But after listening to my staff report the last meetings
where they inform us that years they were aware of this illegal use, apparently had
done nothing to stop it and thereby allowing our City to be exposed to possible
liability. Therefore, I am believe that we have done disservice to our City.
Although the intent of this garden may have been in good faith, I'm asking the City
Attorney to investigate the level and the levels of responsibility, accountability, of
those that ignore the matter and for not making the necessary corrections as soon
as they were aware of the violations. I want to make that on record, because like I
said, I was targeted and a lot of people said, `Jerry, you don't know where this park
is at'? And to this day I want clarification, does this park belong to us or
they're using our land? So whoever knew about it, I want some accountability from

MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL (cont.)
our City Attorney. You're new to us but you're gonna find out a lot of good stuff
and I need a report back on this matter. Thank you."
Member Cano inquired of the City Attorney if it was necessary for him to make his
request in the form of a motion. City Attorney Morris -Jones responded that it was
sufficient for him to request a report.
Mayor Morrison indicated that he had two items he would like to have included on
future agendas.
Motion by Morrison to propose that a Contractor Responsibility Ordinance be put
on the next agenda. Upon further clarification and discussion, the motion was
clarified to be: A proposed Contractor Responsibility Ordinance would be provided
to staff for review and report to be placed on the agenda when determined to be
appropriate. The motion, as clarified, was seconded by Mendivil. Motion carried
by the following vote, to -wit. Ayes: Cano, Mendivil, Morrison, Rios. Nays: Sotelo-
Solis. Absent: None. Abstain: None.
Motion by Morrison, seconded by Cano, to have staff review and bring back an
updated Historic Housing Survey on a future agenda. Carried by unanimous vote.
City Clerk Michael Dalla expressed his concerns over the Council digressing when
it comes to properly making and discussing motions, which are often confusing,
lengthy and hard to understand, as well as maintaining proper order and decorum.
Mr. Dalla reminded the Council on the importance of following Rosenberg's Rules
of Order, which was previously adopted by the Council.
