<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a question for the group regarding Oregon HB3115 (I believe that is correct) which requires that every city provide a public area for sleeping for the homeless, which must include lavatory facilities (porta potty and handwashing
at a minimum). If cities do not comply, they will be denied state funds. This requirement came to our attention at our most recent meeting at City Hall. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are a small rural town of about 1100 people, and we do rely on state funding for numerous budgetary needs. We have TWO public places, only TWO, that could be used for homeless camping! One is a small park on Main Street, in full view
of commercial buildings and residences. And we are trying desperately to upgrade Main Street! The other is a large public park which is adjacent to Cow Creek and our city's water supply, as well as play ground, walking path, and city maintenance buildings.
Our city manager has informed us that the city MUST provide camping areas on one of those two areas, as the city owns no other properties in our city limits that are vacant or could provide enough space for campers. Granted, there would be restrictions on
the time campers can stay on site, but we all know how that goes. The city will be responsible for clean up daily as well. <o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our small town has worked diligently at keeping the problem of homeless folks from "taking over" our streets, under bridges, parks, etc. Now it seems we must make room for them on Main Street. What is everyone else doing? Small town Oregon,
anywhere, what is being discussed in your little cities? <br>
