    Temporary zoning regulations for an overflow homeless shelter at about 1659 West North Temple

    Discussed

    The City Attorney's office described the temporary land use process, and Council Member Amy Fowler reviewed the timeline and why no public hearing is scheduled. A Shelter the Homeless representative reviewed staffing options. Members discussed keeping the use from becoming permanent, staffing, security, fencing, neighborhood impact, on-site medical services and funding. Unanimous straw polls supported a staffing ratio of one staff per 25 clients during peak activity, not counting security toward staffing, and adding non-SLC law enforcement agencies. A straw poll to drop a requirement for a 24/7 on-site medical clinic had six votes of support; Council Member Ana Valdemoros did not express support. The Mayor reviewed the timeline and need to allocate emergency shelter funding.

    • Straw polls: staffing 1:25 unanimous; security not counted unanimous; added law enforcement unanimous; remove 24/7 medical clinic six in support
