Colleagues,
Thank you to those of you who were able to attend the Sept. 9 Metro Parks Board meeting.  Attached please find the written statement from Tacoma Housing Authority.  Note para. 3 on page one - in summary, THA favors the proposed code change but "conditions its support on the assumption that the city will provide alternate places for people who are homeless to live, shelter, or camp."

I suggest that one of the things we request from the city in our conversations with council members and staff is a list of these "alternate places for people who are homeless to live, shelter, or camp" along with any conditions for such living, shelter, or camping.

Remember that Council Member Chris Beale will join us Friday morning.  

Many thanks for your work,
Maureen
