Dane

Check out the 7 week update from the Day Center for Unhoused persons . . . and stop by and check it out if you have the chance . . . what a difference staffing attitudes make! Specifically, check out the police call information.

A little after 11:00 tonight we were finally notified of the county's plan to deal with the holidays and the next few very cold and snowy days - and keeping homeless people from freezing to death or at least getting hypothermia or losing some toes to frostbite. Not much detail and I have NO idea how people are supposed to find out about the latest last minute plan that has been thrown together.

41 seats up for elections, 2 are contested and 9 have no one filing anything.  2 people officially on the ballot so far.  Papers due January 7th - 29 more days.  Media silence, so who even knows they should be thinking about running?

The Executive Committee of the Dane County Board meets at 6:00 p.m. in Room 310 of the City-County Building on July 8, 2010.  Here's the agenda with accompanying resolutions: EX20100708attach.pdf

August mode - only 6 meetings, 1 missing agenda.

Sorry, one more week of weak blogging.

Konkel's random musings, council elects new leadership at tonight's meeting, or not? Alder updates, WHEDA looking for affordable housing input and more.

I didn't spot any really big topics, but plenty of stuff going on this week with some full agendas.

Ok, I met my goal of doing the round up for a week in a row, and hopefully this is back on a daily basis . . . because it is very popular . . .

Here it is, in all its glory . . . hope you can interpret the alphabet soup without attachments.

Not much over the holiday weekend, but several things from the end of last week.

This is an excellent overview of the city and to some extent county homeless services system, some challenges and how they are approaching the housing needs at this moment, after Rethke and Tree Lane.  And why.
