CITIZEN COMMENTS TO THE COUNCIL
Pastor Wayne Wilson, 468 West 200 South, said the homeless needed housing and he wanted to build a 500 bed facility. He said he had worked toward this goal for the past two years. He said he put earnest money on the Sutherland property located at 440 South Redwood Road. He said some people had committed funding for the project. He said one key issue was getting the property zoned correctly. He said he wanted the City Council to form a committee to hear this issue. He said he wanted to work with the City to develop a facility that met City standards and could serve the needs of the homeless and the rest of the community.
The following people spoke or submitted written comments concerning Reverend Wayne Wilson's Spectacular Ministries Church and the needs of the homeless. Comments included rent costs, jobs, housing, violence, and questions concerning zoning and ordinance violations. A petition was also submitted.

Councilmember Christensen said the City Council was not a judicial body. He said the Council had the responsibility to discuss policy matters and enact ordinances. He said City staff was available to answer questions or provide follow-up information concerning zoning and ordinance violations. He said this issue was not on the agenda but could be discussed at a later date.
Stephen Pace, 181 B Street, said he revised his petition and wanted the Council to put light rail on the ballot. He said there was not a long term financial plan for light rail and a vote on light rail would not jeopardize federal funding.
