The Committee Approved To Receive And Forward This Item To The March 16,

2026 Special City Council Agenda On Consent With A Supplemental Report That

Includes Councilmember Fife Questions:

1. Under strategy 2, the plan highlights “rapid diversion” interventions, to expedite

stabilization for those who are newly homeless and/or lower acuity, recommending

a potential a pilot. Can staff explain these interventions and if there is a specific

recommendation for what the City pilots?

2. Under strategy 3, The Plan points out that 90% of the City is already designated

as High Sensitivity and suggests a new priority no-camping zones within the High

Sensitivity areas to establish a data-informed framework for assessing and

responding to encampments. Can they expound on the goal of the “no-camping

zones” and how it would help with meeting the objectives of the plan?

3. On OAK-glitter and the Co-managed encampment pilot, what does this entail?

Will this reflect the model the City piloted at 3rd and Peralta and at East Lake?

4. The Plan highlights the need for better collaboration with the County and even

assigns roles and responsibilities under each strategy. Has the County agreed to the

roles and responsibilities? Will there be a push to formalize an agreement to

facilitate these efforts?

5. How does the City plan to better identify and coordinate with the County as it

pertains to services for unhoused individuals with addiction and mental health

disorders?
