REP FOR CITY GOVT. SHOWED UP
Thanks for being respectful we are not going to push the tarp items
onto polls. Can’t have mattresses on the plaza putting out debris
boxes in all 4 corners recycling bins in cooking tent. Fire dept.
concerned w/ how it is set up…not punitive but safety concerns on how
it is set up. Burners under tent is dangerous (flammable tents)
electrical plugs to poles. Cut off electricity or stop using pole
outlets on our own.
How can we help. Clarifying questions only to Arturo please:
Arturo: Will ask water cleaning people to be respectful of where they
are cleaning in the a.m. away from tents
Question: Discussion last night for electrical access to use for
campsite. Medical only purposes.
Arturo: Sending a request to the city to talk about our needs and will
get back w/ us.
Question: What are regulations on having a public park w/ restrooms.
Arturo: There are various park considerations and restrictions
depending on size & function of park. The City Hall does have city
bathrooms for public use and public are allowed to use them but please
be respectful of our custodial staff in the building : ) they are doing
a great job of cleaning up the perimeter of the park.
Question: Can we help out city staff in the a.m.?
Arturo: Yes, there are brooms/sweeper stuff for use….he will bring
that to the city to discuss to us possibly helping out.
Arturo: City property is cement area…(sorry missed what the grass
park area is).We reserve the right to change our minds at any time
about
time/place for use….safety is priority for all people.
