targeted by this ordinance. There are the destitute homeless folks who just
plain need help. Their lives are a train wreck and many of them will
probably never be functional members of society regardless of the programs
and assistance they are given. Some percentage of the population will
always be in this state. Then there are the folks described by our downtown
ambassador today as "rebels." They are the younger transient crowd who
choose to live on the fringe of society.
To be honest, the 'rebels' are the ones I worry about. The guy passed out on
the sidewalk makes me sad and a little uncomfortable, but not scared.
My amendment passed with Dave, Jason, Pam, Ed and I voting in favor. Renee,
Dick, and Jon Wilkins voting against. Arguments from Jon were along the
lines that there are rules in society and these people need to follow them.
We offer various assistance programs. They should avail themselves of these
programs. Just because they don't, doesn't mean we should let them sit
around on the sidewalk. Dick's perspective was along the lines that by
allowing them to sleep on the sidewalk we are enabling them. I disagree with
most of this. There would be some merit to Jon's argument if we offered
adequate care, treatment, or resources for homeless with mental illness and
chemical dependency problems. But even if we did, there would still be
people who just would not go along with the program. So even if our society
offered the resources the problem would still exist, but maybe at a level
the shoppers could tolerate. I also think Dick's argument would work with
some folks. If we made it even harder for the homeless to exist, some of
them may find the wherewithal to become productive functioning members of
society. But many of them would probably just sink even lower.
What I heard from the business owners is that they don't care why they are
homeless or what happens to them. They are tired of dealing with the fallout
that comes from these folks being concentrated in the downtown. I expect to
see a lot of the business owners at the council meeting on Monday. I also
expect to see folks from the social services community. What I'm hoping is
that we will also see folks who are willing to speak about how they love our
downtown and think it is a great place to work, shop, and live. All this
harping on the one negative thing about downtown can't be the best thing for
business. If I remember right, Scott Sproull produced data that showed a
decline in business that directly corresponded with the hoopla about the
supposed lack of parking downtown. So if you prefer the downtown to the
mall and the box stores, please let our business owners know. They seem to
have an inferiority complex when they look to the other retail centers in
town. Go spend some money and let them know they are part of what makes this
community so great.
In Conservation we learned about a new conservation easement being purchased
way up Miller Creek with open space bond money. It is the 207 acre Anderson
Ranch. We are putting in $25,000 and the county is putting in $175,000.
Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation is putting the deal together and will hold the
easement. The easement was appraised at $1,800,000. The property is a
working ranch and a critical piece of the wildlife corridor from the
Sapphires to the Bitterroots. Here are more details:

In PAZ we mostly discussed the Sonata Park findings of fact. This is a
subdivision up at the end of the west side of the Rattlesnake. We approved
it two years ago. The neighbors sued us. The judge said we needed to specify
our reasons for why we approved it based on what was in the record. He
didn't want to have to wade through the hundreds of pages of documents. So
Staff waded through it all and distilled it down to about twenty pages of
arguments that were made during the process. We need to review this and add
anything we can think of and then adopt it as our findings of fact. We
can't change anything about the decision, we can only provide explanation
for why we made it.
In A&F we did some misc. budget stuff. Nothing too exciting.
Public Works had a couple of interesting items. We discussed a parking
encroachment permit for the project at 420 Nora street. The developer has
made some changes to their project and now needs more parking to comply with
zoning. So they are asking the city to essentially vacate right of way so
they can meet their parking requirement. The public works department is not
so hot on giving away the public right of way unless we are absolutely sure
there is nothing we will ever need it for. It turned out the developer was
not notified that this was going to be on our agenda so we held it over for
another week so we could hear what they have to say.
We also heard about the plan to reduce fuel use by the city in response to
our resolution to cut fuel use by 10%. What we learned is that over the
last few years the city has done a lot to reduce our energy needs. There are
some departments that will be easier to find gains in than others. The heavy
equipment use is based on the weather. If there is snow, we plow and it uses
diesel.
We also agreed to change the target date for compliance from 1/1/2011 to
7/1/2011. Aligning it with our fiscal year will simplify the accounting and
documentation.
Here is a link to the report:

Works had a couple of interesting items. We discussed a parking =
encroachment
permit for the project at <st1:Street w:st=3D"on"><st1:address =
w:st=3D"on">420 Nora
street</st1:address></st1:Street>. The developer has made some changes =
to
their project and now needs more parking to comply with zoning. So =
they
are asking the city to essentially vacate right of way so they can meet =
their
parking requirement. The public works department is not so hot on =
giving
away the public right of way unless we are absolutely sure there is =
nothing we
will ever need it for. It turned out the developer was not notified that =
this
was going to be on our agenda so we held it over for another week so we =
could
hear what they have to say.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DCalibri><span =
style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>We
also heard about the plan to reduce fuel use by the city in response to =
our
resolution to cut fuel use by 10%. What we learned is that over =
the last
few years the city has done a lot to reduce our energy needs. There are =
some
departments that will be easier to find gains in than others. The heavy
equipment use is based on the weather. If there is snow, we plow and it =
uses
diesel. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D2 face=3DCalibri><span =
style=3D'font-size:11.0pt'>We
also agreed to change the target date for compliance from 1/1/2011 to =
7/1/2011.
Aligning it with our fiscal year will simplify the accounting and
documentation. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
