'Disrespectful and patently untrue': City Manager blasts comment by Coun. Stevenson

About five hours into Tuesday’s meeting of the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee, debate turned to the frequency of staff reports meant to update council about the Whole of Community Response to Homelessness.
Long simmering tensions boiled over during a marathon committee meeting at city hall.
About five hours into Tuesday’s meeting of the Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee, debate turned to the frequency of staff reports meant to update council about the Whole of Community Response to Homelessness.
Initially, a motion by Deputy Mayor Shawn Lewis and Coun. Skylar Franke sought to switch from monthly reports to twice per year.
They asserted that preparing the monthly reports is pulling staff away from work that actually addresses the homelessness crisis.
“We want to see less talk and more action — not necessary from staff, but from council,” Franke told colleagues.
Coun. Anna Hopkins suggested a compromise that would amend the frequency to quarterly reports.
After that amendment debate went off the rails.
