municipalities in the area as well as some local churches, to have a meeting after the
first of the year and address the homeless issue. Mayor Moore stated that there will be
no more sweeps until after the meeting takes place, a plan is laid out, and they come up
with a good solution. Mayor Moore stated there would be more discussion on this in the
future.

regarding the homeless issue and the municipalities come up with a plan, the City will
need to put together a specific plan on how to deal with any situation that arises. Mr.
Merkley stated that until this meeting occurs, no sweeps will take place and no policy
will be formulated until input from all individuals who are dealing with this on a day -to-
day basis are heard.
