Hello again. Is it also possible to put an injunction in place to fully restrict access to anyone behind the plywood walls at the shelter?
It is frequently used to harass and assault people.
You could completely remove the Bayside access mechanism and place a solid protection space for the shelter guests there.
.People have claimed they an do anything they want to shelter guests from there, including supposedly open access to any American Legion members to that space. Or maintenance persons.
Thanks for considering this as a means to improve the overall safety for shelter guests.

I would like to see additional funding for the Jefferson County Emergency Shelter to cover a staffing increase so the shelter could open at 4 pm instead of 5 pm.
If more employee funding existed, Public Health would schedule the shelter as a regular stop. That needs to happen during their regular hours. That would increase the safety and health
of 26 homeless or other persons served by the shelter.
Thanks,
Robert
