City Manager Tippin, City Attorney Curtis, and Chief of Police Brian Barner summarized
the Report to City Council(staff report), incorporated herein by reference.
Mr.Tippin provided background information relative to a recent ruling by the United States
Supreine Court often referred to as the Grants Pass case. That case officially repealed the
Boise case, which is what the City of Redding had drafted some of its ordinance language
around in previous years. He stated that recommendations to the Council will include
future changes to the ordinance as well as some Police Department policies,which the City
Attorney and Police Chief each provided brief overviews of those changes.
City Attorney Curtis noted that regardless of any recent changes in law, the City will still
place a priority on helping those in the community living without shelter through the many
grants received and programs the City has implemented.
A brief discussion amongst the Council ensued.
Pastor Bob Swartz opined that being a community for each other is important, and that
homeless people are people and constituents as well.
Jaclyn Treadway opined that she has a non-profit organization that is in the process of
developing a shelter to be named Developing Diamonds Transitional, Transformational
Home with loving Family, a sanctuary for homeless, and provided a handout entitled
"Proclamation", incorporated herein by reference. She asked that if the homeless are
keeping their camps safe from the public, could the Police give them a little grace period,
as she is prepared to provide tents, and encouraged human kindness.
Dr. Paul Dhanuka stated that as a business owner, he is tired of cleaning the bad things
outside of his properties as we11, but as a physician, he empathizes with the pain and hurt
that the homeless have to go througl� when they come inside medical facilities. He opined
that enforcement and housing are parts of the solution,however,the real problem is a crisis
of a shortage of inental health and secondary to that, drug dependence. He proposed that
the City of Redding take the lead to build a residential facility for mental health and drug
rehab for at least 30-40 beds, he further opined that this would solve suicide, fentanyl
overdose, homelessness crimes, and will decompress the jail as we11.
