Our community has been a leader in the north county in supporting the homeless. Volunteers with ECHO and the churches have provided assistance for years. I would hope the City will now assume a small portion of this responsibility. It is understood that questions of safety and funding have been brought to your attention. Rather than dismiss the idea of using the Armory, I hope the Council would work with the County, other communities and volunteers to address these concerns. Listed below are several ideas that may serve as a start: • Appeal to the County, the City of Paso Robles and Supervisor Debbie Arnold for a good will gesture of funding support. (It must be recognized that taxpayers will ultimately be responsible for medical care as the result of the homeless being exposed to harsh conditions.) • As a part of the agreement with the requesting volunteer group ( Transitional Food and Shelter) require that users will be transported to the Armory after and before school hours, supervision and security is provided and cleanup is undertaken. • Since occupancy will start as early as January 21st the requesting group must respond to the City's concerns expeditiously. • Follow up on former Assembly Member Katcho Achadjian's efforts to make the Armory available to the City in a simplified manner. It makes sense to use a vacant public building to help the needy. It is just the right thing to do. Thank you for considering this matter, Fred Frank
