The Community Development Analyst responded Building Futures has implemented a weekly laundry program for homeless individuals and is looking into other options. Councilmember Ezzy Ashcraft stated that she is prepared to support the request. Councilmember Matarrese thanked the SSHRB; stated that he supports the mobile outreach team, which is critical; he is unsure about the parking meters; in the next budget discussion, he would like to address using the transfer tax for a contribution to housing for people below a certain income level; he is ready to support the recommendation minus the parking meters. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the request for the $120,000 will return to Council at a later date, to which the Community Development Director responded the item will return at the mid-cycle budget update. Mayor Spencer inquired whether the $120,000 could be funded tonight. The Community Development Director responded the intent can be noted and the item can be picked up as part of the mid-cycle budget process. Mayor Spencer stated that she might not approve the mid-cycle budget; she would like to support the $120,000. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the item can be adopted as an expenditure, and whether the item was properly agendized. Mayor Spencer stated items are modified all the time. The Community Development Director responded the question is whether or not the resolution can be amended to add the $120,000. The City Attorney stated the item is agendized to add money to the homeless project; the amount can be augmented. Vice Mayor Vella inquired whether the money for the parking meters can be put towards intensive case management. Councilmember Matarrese stated that he agrees with Vice Mayor Vella's suggestion.
