Stonecrest council asks staff for 60-day plan and legal analysis on unhoused response
Summary
Council added an item to discuss a rising unhoused population and asked the city manager, legal and code enforcement to research a citywide task force, review local nuisance/urban-camping code, evaluate two Panola Road properties for violations, expand the city's 'Help for the Homeless' web resources and prepare a briefing on HB 295.
