Here's the items they will talk about, unless the public shows up and speaks to any of the other items.

Yesterday morning, I called the coroners office to confirm the death of a homeless person, for which I only had a first name. He experienced problems outside of Shelter 1, on his way to Shelter 2 or 3 for the evening. 911 was called, staff performed CPR and he died at the hospital. An autopsy will be done to determine the cause of death.

Wish I had seen this report a while ago . . . good stuff!

Sorry so late, no pressure to get it done before going to work . . . TRC closes when schools do

It's unclear if these meetings are still going on in this weather . . . I'm guessing several get cancelled.

It should be the case any time of the year, but during this cold snap, extra efforts are being made and everyone should have a place to be warm. As soon as the extreme cold is over, back to having gaps in the "system".

I ask again, can you imagine being homeless in this weather - where temperatures are going to be cold enough that after 10 minutes outside you can get frostbite. A permanent, comprehensive day center is what we need. We desperately need it for the beginning of next week. A van carrying 15 people at a time can't possible help the over 200 single men and women experiencing homelessness - and that doesn't count the families.

Our children, Madison children, experiencing homelessness. After you listen, give.

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.

I am a member of the parent's advisory committee and also someone whose children has benefited greatly from Camp Kesem - UW and they...

Sigh . . . lovely stories about no one being turned away from shelter . . . but no mention of the following:
