The City just launched a new webpage/reporting mechanism to report homeless encampments.
Use this site to notify the City of new encampments that pop up throughout the community.

Video of LPNA meeting 12/7/2017
For those unable to attend the our meeting, please feel free to view the recorded session below. Still ironing out the bugs to the process, and definitely need to remember to detach the monitoring headset when stepping away from the camera, or else everything tends to follow you around, literally. 😀 So apologies for that mishap, but otherwise, the recording is presentable. The audio was not cleanly processed as I like, but due to time constraints to make this information available prior to the 12/12 City Council meeting, it will have to do.

For those unable to attend the LPNA meeting on 12/7, SPUR supplied their presentation for review, see link below.
