Regular City Council Meeting Monday,March 6,2023 Page 10 an orderly manner and find somewhere the person can go,at least in the short term. But at the same time, not such a long time frame or process. He was concerned about the ten-day time frame being too short as well as well as the ninety-day timeframe being too long. He thought the Board needed to figure out something between those and did not know if staff or the Board had any thoughts on that. Mr. Trudgeon reviewed the options presented in the staff report. He ex- plained staff was looking for enforcement direction. Boardmember Strahan indicated when she talked with Mr. Trudgeon, they talked about possibly not putting parameters around it so no new people were to move into the site and if the people currently there were to find other housing, no additional people would be allowed to move in and take their spots. If the City is looking at some timeline for removal, she thought it would be appropriate and good to spell it out so there is not a surprise if someone came in that they were moved out quickly. She fully supported the timeline but would like to have the opportunity so the City and Church would sit down, start working toward a solution, and see if there is the possibility of a quick fix for this. She did not want this to linger on until next fall. She would be comfortable with possibly 120 days but thought within sixty days the City would have a pretty good idea whether this is headed toward a so- lution that met the goals. She noted as it warms up, it would be nice to work toward a solution and some type of permanent placement and not be extend- ing it beyond where it is open ended. Boardmember Schroeder concurred and noted from reading what the City received from Prince of Peace this was always intended to be a temporary spot for Valerie and the church was working on finding a more permanent spot. Hopefully if there is enough time it will allow for that to happen. She would not want to displace someone but on the other hand they want to make sure that the church works with the City and staff and become partners and work on a solution for this. She agreed that within sixty days the City should probably know where things are at, and she would think if there were some unusual circumstances that it could come back with the information and a request for additional time. Mr. Trudgeon stated if staff were given direction at the meeting tonight, the item could come back after that set time to discuss solutions and then decide what the next step is and scenarios could play out from there. If more time is needed, it could be decided then. City Attorney Tierney indicated she was comfortable with that idea and sug- gested the Board put some parameters on their expectations of where this is in sixty days for all involved.
