“Thank you so much, Madam PO. And as initially hesitant as I was, I support us moving forward with this. Particularly as Chair of PECS, I've seen how legislation that hasn't been properly vetted, comes before us and it does not go to the legal department first. It is not something that's discussed with other departments. To be quite frank, it is utilized as political play and rhetoric. And what it does is it not only ties up and makes difficult our work here as commissioners, it also sometimes inadvertently, and sometimes to be quite frank, people do it intentionally, misrepresents and creates…”

“Thank you so much. Again, I just reiterate, this isn't a focus on attacking the unhoused in a housing ordinance. This is more to address certain behaviors that pose a risk of public safety. I'm not certain why many times it's being reiterated. And the opportunity over the last 60 days, most of the PECS meetings that my colleague opposition has missed, there's been plenty of opportunity to make suggestions for changes and to discuss and accept the fact that this is not focusing on jailing the young house. As with any any issue related to trespassing and the like, our officers are afforded…”

“Move for action. Motion to defer agenda items ending in 12-16 and 12-19 to the September 15 VOC meeting as it was approved in PECS. But I think that it was also at one point discussed in FAB as well. The FAB chair was there present in PECS. Are you fine with this just being in PECS, and is there more discussion that you want to have around it?”

“And this is Pax. Thank you so much. I believe it was supposed to, we had discussed with Ron, the administration started implementing specific recommendations and provided those to us from the study. And at this point, I think we were comfortable with the implementation since our colleague and of the urgence is here. Is there anything else that you wanted to add to that in terms of recommendations for this item?”

“There's the road to home program. So I see we've included the road to home as a part of exhibit A7, the transitional housing for the extended stay. So the motel to home, but the road to home is not included.”

“No, and I could appreciate that response. And to the extent that we plan on using any of the bond proceeds for a particular program, then that would need to be something that will be made a part of this since we're going to effectually get a bond as a result of it. Now I get that we can As long as we go through the process, allocate funds from a bond to something else that's in similarity and there's other different considerations in and around a bond. But specifically, if we're going to spend funds related to it, then it would be listed as well. And this is something that I've asked on and…”

“I'll reiterate. As exhibit A7 transitional housing, extended stay hotel program, so the hotel to home, I'm looking for my road to home. I was advised as we were going to do a separate agenda item related to it. that it would be a part of. We have something specifically outlining as it relates to the extended stay hotel to home. Just looking for where my road to home is.”

“And so we need to make sure that we have an opportunity to discuss this more in PEX. So I know that Shannon is out presently. John was here from someone. Yeah, make sure that it gets on so that we can be able to hear it. So then my motion is to defer to the September 15th BOC. I actually would need the September, what is that? What's after the 15th?”
