So, there will be no day center again this winter and once again, for the 4th year in a row, are planning a temporary solution. What is wrong with this community that we can't get this right? I can't believe we are building a tiny house village that will be ready before a permanent comprehensive day center for people who are homeless. Even at my most cynical moments, I would have never imagined it.

Call me cynical, but I don't really believe it. It seems like so many people have different understandings of what the shelter rules are and it appears there is a really good reason for that.

Cuz, even I knew the answer to Mo Cheek's question about officer comments about the public. And its not what Chief Koval told the told the Common Council, not even close. It clearly flew in the face of his own department policies.

There are three separate things going on at this point: 1) The Town of Madison is appealing the zoning decision that C-1 zoning is appropriate for the day center, and perhaps that is was zoned R-4. The hearing at the Board of Adjustment isn't until August 28th. (can't confirm, but that is what I was told by Town of Madison staff) 2) 14 conditions of approval for the building permit still need to be met, including parking etc 3) Among the conditions, the Town of Madison and Dane County have to sign an agreement about what services Dane County will be paying for - public works mostly, police and fire too?

If you work until 5:00 you'll be able to make it on time for public comment for 6 of the 22 meetings. 5 if it takes you more than 15 minutes to get there.

Here you go, better than usual meeting times, not so many during the day when no one except the lobbyists and insiders can attend.

4 meetings, all 4 this afternoon and start within an hour and a half of each other . . .

Only 5 of the 21 meetings start after 5:00 . . . and I'm sure that there will be more meetings that are added throughout the week.
